[Bug: 21.5-b29] eol handling for process output on windows

Samuel Bronson writes: There was a bunch of work done trying to update comint to work with more recent gdb and gud front-ends for XEmacs. Unfortunately, it didn't work well and bunches of stuff got reverted. I think the long-run solution is a "universal eol" eol type a la Python. (There's also a Unicode TR that has something to say about this.) This probably also works, although you'll likely get stair-stepping when you actually do work with Unix-style line endings. Programs trying to read binary data had better specify it with 'binary. If you run into a problem with binary I/O because of your default setting, that's a bug in the program, not in your config. If you have some applications where you're unwilling to risk data loss even if you're entirely justified in changing the default, be specific and we can audit them or you can test them. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
