Hello developers,

After running into a problem with differentiating line endings (a bug  
with sort, you can follow up my previous e-mail if more details are  
needed), I purpose an option (at least) to consider all line endings  
as one (Unix and Windows style, if not more)

It seems your email "fell between the cracks" and not replied to in many 
years. Sorry about that.

As for supporting both unix and windows style line-endings -
this is not likely to be a built-in feature of gnu coreutils.
Most environments where coreutils is used simply don't need it.

However,
It is very easy to convert one style to another, with utilities
like "dos2unix", "mac2unix", "unix2dos", etc.

As such, I'm closing this bug, but discussion can continue by replying
to this thread.

regards,
