File Options Dialog

value of the Add to project option on the Save As dialog. Check this option on the Save tab to have the Add to project check box selected by default each time the dialog is invoked. By default, neither option is set. If you are using the save command to save files, use the switch +P to specify this option.

•Line format - By default, the line format is set to Automatic, which means files are saved "as is" and there are no changes made to the line end characters. To have line end characters translated when files are saved, set the file format to DOS, Mac, or UNIX.

When Automatic is set (default), the line breaks are saved automatically in the file format appropriate to the context in which you are working. However, you can designate a file type for the line breaks. For example, if you are working in Windows and using CVS, using UNIX line breaks will make using CVS easier. Therefore, set the file format to UNIX.

Note

Classic Mac line endings are a single carriage return (ASCII 13).
