in thread Writing a UNIX text line - the end character challenge

This is because a UNIX text file does not want the ASCII 13 character to be there.
Rubbish. UNIX doesn't care what you put in your files. If you want the ASCII 13 character to be there, write it to the file, and it will be there. If you don't want it to be there, don't write it. UNIX is as simple as that.
