Recently a customer told me that text files written
under UNIX and formatted in iso9660 were difficult to read
on a Mac. Apparently a MAC uses CR> for a new line,
and UNIX uses line feed. Is this true?
Has anyone encountered this problem?
What is the standard way test files should be written for
MAC, PC, and UNIX machines?
What kind of characters does each mavchine expect at the end of line?

thanks,
Elisha
