I'm making a program that maps textfiles, and I would like to hear of
any obscure ASCII textfile formats that might exist out there.

(I'm talking ASCII.  There are other formats such as EBCDIC, but a simple
newline translator is not enough for such.)

Of course there is just the Newline (LF) as on Unix, as well as CR-LF as
found on many micros, and just (CR) on some machines.

I also know of QNX which uses the ASCII RS character (0x1e).

Anybody know of others?
