On my machine it does not behave as you describe. It interprets only '\n' as the EOL sequence produc- ing a file with '\r\r\n' for every line end. Natu- rally, groff doesn't like it. In other words, GNUWin32 preconv fails with Windows- encoded files. -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
