The problem with editing the text files under Linux is directly the result
of how you save them.  Windows uses a CR/LF for end of line, Linux does not
and that is why if you use a Linux text editor, IGM's and stuff that rely
on text datafiles fail.  If you remember to save as DOS/Windows text files,
the problem should not occur.

OS/2 is more like DOS/Windows in how it saves files, so you shouldn't run
into this particular issue under OS/2.

Hope that helps shed some light on the subject.

Robert.
