A shower thought I had today...
This is a general non-NTLite question, but also has an NTLite element too:
For all you coders out there, when I was working with LPC I had to learn to convert all my code files into Linux LF in my Notepad++ rather than using the default Windows CRLF, or else in rare scenarios it can cause issues...
1) Well, now I'm curious about the Windows OS itself. Should my .bat and .reg files for example all use the Windows CRLF when I run them from the desktop? I know maybe that sounds silly to ask, like "do you use windows on windows" but it's not that far fetched, since Linux is a major component of a lot of things out in the world that not everyone may realize. For all I know Microsoft has Linux aspects in Windows too. I'm not a programmer!
2) Does NTLite care what I use? A lot of programs, even programs written for Windows still abide by some basic Linux principles due to their compilers or whatever tech speak. So does NTLite care if the .reg files I import for example are CRLF versus LF? And then this plays into the final question...
3) Also in LPC I had to end all of my files with a newline (EOL), for the same kind of reasons explained above, sometimes you can get oddball errors if you don't do this... Does the Windows OS have similar issues with things like .bat and .reg files if you don't put the EOL? And what about NTLite, is it possible that if you don't have the EOL on these kinds of files when you import them into NTLite that it could potentially cause an oddball error?
