2 !== CRLF-LF-Conversions.txt for Samba release 2.0.5a 22 Jul 1999
4 We get many requests for CRLF/LF format conversion handling by samba.
5 The problem is that there is no clean way to determine which files
6 should / could be converted and which MUST not be.
8 Since Unix and DOS/Windows uses alike will use .txt to represent a
9 file containing ASCII text we can not reliably use the file extension.
10 The same applies to the .doc extension.
12 Samba operates around the premise that we should leave all files unchanged.
13 By not implmenting CRLF/LF conversions we can not be guilty of damaging
16 When someone comes along with a sound implementation that guarrantees file
17 integrity we will jump at the opportunity to implement this feature. Until
18 such time there is no prospect for action on this topic.
