I recently bought Wollongong 'Pathway' (NFS for the Mac), and am thus far
pleased with it.  It comes with a generic text editor which performs the CR/LF
translation on opens and saves (Unix and other systems end lines with a line
feed; MacOS uses carraige returns).  Unfortunately, this editor is your basic
TeachText format, and what I really want is a full blown text editor (with
programming utilities) -- something on the order of Vantage (aka McSink) or the
Think C editor.

I vaguely recall from Inside Mac that the primitive reads can be set to perform
the appropriate translations. My question:

    * Do any editors exist that make use of that feature?  
    * Is it possible (within reason) to patch up an existing editor 
      to do this?  
    * Has anyone seen a Vantage external to do this?

Please respond via E-mail.  Thanks.
