small bug in FT 1.1

Post #1by Bluespace » 23.10.2005, 10:40

the files in the "data" folder l are not editable in the notepad(every lines are together,cramped),
but when opened with word, no problem, but i think most people like notepad, cause its opens so fast, maybe some kind of format changes happened with the text in FT 1.1

Many of the files were edited on a Linux system.
Linux uses only an ASCII <line-feed> = <end-of-line> to terminate a line of text.
Windows uses two characters: <carriage-return> <line-feed>.
Word and WordPad automatically insert a <cr> in front of a lone <lf>. NotePad does not.

An other possibility is to use a freeware named "Notepad++" in place of the windows Notepad. :wink:
This one displays the .dat files correctly

Here is the link
