Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Linefeeds.

I really agree with Ian on the issue of too many CRLFs. People use the auto wrapping feature and then they add extra returns in
a line that is supposed to be continuos. The result is a mess. Ideally, there should not be any extra CRLFs added except
where really wanted for formatting and readability. It should be the reader program's responsibility to format the text to fit
the user's selected window size. That way it will work regardless of what country and what screen size/ format is used. To
please some people, I have auto linefeeds turned on at 72 characters but I think it is wrong for the above reasons. It really
is the viewer's responsibility to format the text the way he/she wants it. (No CRLF entered so far, I just let the auto
line-wrap work)
