Is anyone pushing M$ to stop using 2 digits for Enter? Linux and Mac have it right, why does M$ make things difficult? That way we could get rid of b in fopen.

I doubt if Microsoft cares what Linux/Mac use for newline characters.

For programmers, it's no big deal. But for the user it can be annoying and confusing. For example. Sometimes it is necessary when using an ftp client to upload documents from windows to a linux server in ascii mode rather than binary. That is something that can easily be overlooked and can cause serious problems on the site.

A standard accross operating systems would make all the needless confusion go away.
