[Cuis] About cr/lf issues in MSWindows

[H. Hirzel]

Hello Juan

Thank you for your feedback about not changing the default github
client settings in MSWindows as CRLF is concerned. I understand that
there are no problems if I edit text files in Cuis only. I have not
used Cuis so far for text editing. Actually a good reminder to start
doing so (see forthcoming separate mail of today).

So far I have not bothered either but as I have started to file in
*.mcz files from Squeak the paragraph marks have become an issue.

But as I have noted previously in this thread as soon as I save then
the package as a *.pck.st file it is fine again. So as of now no need
for action for this.

However I still keep the references about cr/lf treatment in github
which Angel has sent to the list  in case of need.

Regards
Hannes
