!== CRLF-LF-Conversions.txt for Samba release 2.0.9 08 May 2001
!==
We get many requests for CRLF/LF format conversion handling by samba.
The problem is that there is no clean way to determine which files
should / could be converted and which MUST not be.

Since Unix and DOS/Windows uses alike will use .txt to represent a
file containing ASCII text we can not reliably use the file extension.
The same applies to the .doc extension.

Samba operates around the premise that we should leave all files unchanged.
By not implmenting CRLF/LF conversions we can not be guilty of damaging
anyone's files.

When someone comes along with a sound implementation that guarrantees file
integrity we will jump at the opportunity to implement this feature. Until
such time there is no prospect for action on this topic.
