Note, however, that's the server platform, not the client platform. So if you're running Linux servers and a windows user connects, it's the Linux line ending that's used. In general, this doesn't matter (Notepad is the only Windows program I've run across that doesn't process Unix line endings properly), but it's something to consider. If you do need to do cross-platform generation, then you have to use the first method, and select the appropriate line ending based on CGI variables (or whatever).

Just found it after posting: * Windows (\r\n): #chr(13)##chr(10)# * Unix (\n): #chr(10)# * MacOS 9 and earlier (\r): #chr(13)# So, are we covered on windows with the java class?

But doessn't it need to be CHR(13)& CHR(10)? If so... ? Thanks for this. But doessn't it need to be CHR(13)& CHR(10)? If so… ?
