All Unix documentation is in Unix line end format.  User should
get used to that and use programs that handle them.

I quickly tested Guck, RDD and Everest on TOS and all of them handled
Unix line endings just fine.  On Windows you can use WordPad or some
programmer's editor.

About only file where it makes sense to have TOS/DOS line endings is
the first MiNT readme.  That could tell what are sensible file viewers
to use.
