But not necessarily available. And it doesn't make sense to render the built-in fileviewer in TOS useless for purely philosophical reasons.

That's quite another issue that doesn't have to be debated here ;) I don't see the problem in using CRLF in the kernel and AES logs. After all, both MiNT itself and XaAES reads CRLF config files already, so why insist on "unix-mode" here? As I said, it doesn't matter what kind of file format people prefer their user programs to use. But the kernel and the AES must provide logs and docs that can be read by TOS.

I have a feeling that this is more about what's cool (if unix does it then it must be cool) than what's practical.
