Line terminatorsI work in a mixed DOS/UNIX environment.  I use "As
Loaded" to typically avoid issues, but I occasionally move files from
one environment to the other.  I need to know what the current termination
is and to be able to change it.  In the past when my drive mappings were
more constant, I could hook a macro to set it based on the drive, but no
more.
Changing it is not the problem. Learning what the current status is and
displaying it is the problem.  The hex mode display doesn't help as the CR
or CR/LF are not displayed---why not?

I'm thinking about an indicator in the line below the message line, maybe a
D for DOS files and a U for UNIX files.  Has anyone already done any work
on determining what the current files line terminator is and displaying the
information?  If not, can anyone give me any clues on how to determine the
terminator character(s)?
