Yup.... it pisses me right off prepping the next TOSEC release. LOL.
In reality it is not a big deal, most (all?) modern 'ROM' managers can handle either EOL type DAT, I just like to keep all the TOSEC DATs in Windows format rather than Unix for consistency, and therefore it's just ANOTHER thing to check when new DATs get submitted.
Though I guess it does serve a practical purpose when contributors are manualy checking/amending DATs, though I would hope they using something a bit more sophisticated than vanilla Notepad!
