Unix, DOS, Apple Style Records

Option 'x' --> U**x, DOS or Apple Style Records. By default QTGrep reads files and translates all Carriage Return/Line Feed pairs found to single Line Feeds under OS/2. This translation does not take place under the U**x style OSs.

The single Line Feeds are normally used as the record delimitor.

This option forces QTGrep to recognize either Carriage Return/Line Feed pairs, single Line Feeds or single Carriage Returns as the record delimitor.

Under OS/2, this option also forces QTGrep to stop the translation of Carriage Return/Line Feed pairs to single Line Feeds.

This option may be used in conjunction with the '#t' expressions set in expression files for controlling how files are read and records determined.

The following table summarizes the effects of the 'U', 'X' and 'x' options:

Option	True Option Value	FALSE Option Value	Initial State	File translation mode (OS/2 only - always binary under U**x)
U	cl	l	FALSE	TRUE/binary - FALSE/text
X	l	-----------------	FALSE	TRUE/binary - FALSE/text
x	cl/r/l	-----------------	FALSE	force binary

Where:
    cl     --> carriage return/line feed combination record terminator
    l      --> single line feed record terminator
    cl/r/l --> carriage return/line feed, single carriage return or line feed

    text   --> translate cl to l on input (OS/2 only)
    binary --> no translation as above done (always this under U**x)

This is a local option and may be turned on or off for separate files as desired.

Incompatible Options Are:

W	Write Compiled Search Patterns
U	U**x <-> OS/2 Style Records
X	Force U**x Style records
Z	File Preview
