[Texttest-users] Line feeds in options files

[Michael B. <beh...@us...>]

Hi,
I noticed a change in behavior of texttest starting with 3.17 (I suppose),
of which I don't know whether it is intended or not.
In earlier releases the options passed to the application could be separated
by line feeds (\n) in the options file which does not work with 3.17
any more. All options after the first line feed are ignored.

I liked the old behavior because it makes the options files easier to read
in some cases but I also understand that it may be not strictly what you want 
because on the "real" command line you simply cannot use \n as separator.

Thus before filing a bug report I wanted to ask what is the intended behavior 
of texttest in this case.

(I did not try to reproduce this on all platforms. It occured to me
on Windows, while my home OS (and also the home_operating_system
for texttest) is posix).

Regards,
Michael
