Line Termination

All lines in the file must use the standard DOS/Windows line termination of(carriage return/line feed). The file is permitted (but not required) to end with a. It is recommended that all LDraw-compliant programs also be capable of reading files with the standard Unix line termination of(line feed).

End with a what? I'm assuming what's missing is "carriage return/line feed" ?

[Michael Heidemann]

Yes

[Tim Gould]

Should that be a "0" (zero)?

[Michael Heidemann]

NO!

[Travis Cobbs]

0 is certainly valid as the last byte of an LDraw file (right after an <LF>). I suspect that this is supposed to say that the last line may or may not have a <CR><LF> at the end, but I can't remember.

The sentence

The file is permitted (but not required) to end with a.

should read instead

Terminating the last line of a file with it is optional.

Yes, that is exactly what we discussed that time.

[Michael Heidemann]

Thanks - that makes it really clear

[Willy Tschager]

I finally found the time to correct this. Thanks for pointing out. Let me know if there are more hiccups caused by the transition from PN.
