Hello everyone,

When I tried to view "jk200.e" from Jese Kint in Notepad, I found that
it displayed the newline characters rather than doing a carriage return.
I didn't want to manually enter the returns into the file so I wrote a
simple program to do it for me.  I'm sure this took much longer since it
was a fairly short file.
    My program replaces all instances of ASCII 10 with '\n'.  On a hunch
I added this line to the end of the file:
    ? '\n'
It printed "10" so it looks like my proggie really did nothing.  However
it DID fix the file.  It looks fine (no weird little blocks). But
essentially I just replaced 10 with 10.

What's going on here?

confused,
Lewis Townsend
