Yes, but this is MiNT documentation, not unix documentation. And MiNT is an extension of TOS.

I don't see a single reason why it makes sense to *not* have TOS/DOS line endings? Are there *any* TOS text-editors or viewers that doesn't understand this? This is not scripts that has to be read by some unix shell, but documentation and logs that are supposed to be read by humans on TOS machines.
