One would think the whole LFCR discussion would have been documented and saved throughout the decades. One should really be warned about thinking. Despite what you will read in Google’s always right <cough><cough><hack><hack> AI as well as other places online, way more than Acorn BBC Micro use LFCR for line endings in text files. During the heyday of Midrange computers it was the wild wild west. Lots of names you don’t hear anymore, DEC, Singer, … LF CR LFCR and CRLF Because it Keeps Coming UpRead more

The Last IBM Engineer
I get the Route Fifty morning email because that’s what is left of Government Computing News magazine. Don’t worry, you can’t find any reference to Government Computing magazine via Google.

Never believe those “best of” and comparison articles. 99% of them never bother testing with email, especially sending email via either Thunderbird or BetterBird. If they recommend Avast or AVG you know they didn’t. You can find this here. Yep, that’s from the official BetterBird support page. Anytime you are on … Review – AuraRead more
