Does the Windows 7 Notepad understands the different line-endings of Unix, Mac and Windows?

Solution 1:

Just tried it, and no, Notepad still needs a CR character to insert a new line(Windows 7, build 7600 x64). The following ASCII file (0x0A == LF)

48 65 6c 6c 6f 0a 57 6f  72 6c 64 0a 0a           |Hello.World..|

renders as:

alt text

Solution 2:

Wordpad always supported this feature, and Wordpad in windows 7 is much enhanced in other ways. It's almost a 'Microsoft Word Lite' now.
