The MacOS version of EasyABC (1.3.7.7 at least) creates files with MSDOS <cr><lf> line endings, rather than the conventional bare <lf>. This isn't a major issue, but it's tedious and can be a problem interworking with other utilities. It's possible the Unix version has the same misfeature.</lf></lf></cr>

$ uname
Darwin
$ od -tc test.abc
0000000    X   :   1   1  \r  \n   T   :   T   e   s   t  \r  \n   M   :
0000020    4   /   4  \r  \n   K   :   D  \r  \n   a   b   c   d       e
0000040    f   g
0000042

This is better than an earlier version that seemed to use bare <cr> under MacOS.</cr>

Jon

p.s. Still a really useful program - thanks.

    Line endings are always a pain cross platform. I believe these are the defaults for each platform:
    Windows: CR LF
    Mac: CR
    Unix: LF

    You are suggesting to not use CR but LF on Mac. Has there been a change I am not aware of?

      Yes, MacOS moved to using (just) LF as part of the move to Unix-based MacOS X.

      Jon.

        Ah that is good news. I will fix this in the near future.

    It has been awhile and I think I have fixed this long ago. Could you confirm?

      Yes, it looks as if the version I currently have (calling itself "EasyABC 1.3.7.9 2021-01-01 FAU-Test” from https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1mnXH6DD_PYFSrjyLvFpJ_m0ZA90qgmaG&export=download) works as I’d expect:

      $ uname
      Darwin
      $ od -tc Untitled.abc
      0000000 F o o \n B a r \n B a z
      0000013
