Can someone point me to a Mac OS editor which can read and edit text files 
in which, as in UNIX,
line feeds are used instead of carriage returns? I am getting really tired 
of using UNIX editors from NCSA Telnet when a Mac editor is so easily 
available. Unfortunately, no editor I can find will automatically (i.e. 
without doing a global search/replace at load and save time) read UNIX 
files. We have the ability to mount UNIX volumes on our macs here (via a 
Gator box or, I guess, the Apple Internet Router), so the files are 
available.
Tips anyone? ("use emacs" is _not_ what I am looking for)

btw, one possible solution is QUED/Nisus, in which you could write a 
script replacing 'Load'
which would perform a grep/replace after loading the file. This seems like 
a poor solution,
however, since it would presumably take some time to do the replace for a 
large file.

Thanks! (please mail me; i'll post a summary to the net)
