Hi Jay,

Thanks for posting this.  I had thought that Athena was dealing
gracefully with the three different line termination conventions.
As you point out -- it's wasn't.  Drat!

I wrote some code yesterday to do "the right thing" with mac-, unix-,
and windows-line-terminated files.  It seems to work, but I want to
test it a bit longer.  Once I am satisfied, I'll make a new release of
the source code.  I plan to do this soon so that the folks working on
packaging the software for the various flavors of macs can include the
fix in their next versions of their packages.
