First, note that the PG format isn't really "TXT80" but rather "TXT70" since the PG linelength rules requires something like 70 chars per line. Second, note that what PG does isn't even "ascii", since PG requires interpretation of the code points in ways that differ in meaning from those standards. Third, the war between newline meaning "newline means line break within sentence" vs. "newline means break between paragraphs" was fought in the early 1970's with the near-universal adoption of the rule "newline means break between paragraphs" being adopted "everywhere" in the personal computer world. Somehow PG didn't hear the message. Simple bottom line: if a real world customer opens a PG TXT70 file on their device, will it display "correctly" ? Simple Answer: On close to 100% of real world customers' devices, the answer is no, it will not display "correctly." PS: But the problem is, is that the "old timers" at PG are so used to seeing PG generated files being displayed *incorrectly* on this that or the other device, that they don't even recognize these problems as *being* problems! IE they think the rest of the world should simply learn to adapt itself to PG's self-imposed problems.
