All the Windows applications I have do not recognise line feeds the way Xtherion does. They display Therion data files as one continuous stream of characters. I think it's probably as easy as changing the default encoding, but as I only speak one language, my knowledge is deficient in this area. I have no idea what I should change it to, ASCII would seem to be a good choice, but despite the Therion book saying it is supported, it does not appear in the drop down list in XTherion. Is there a way of enabling cross compatibility between Therion data files and Windows plain text editors or say Visual Basic editors in Windows, set up to use English (US, UK or NZ)?
Hi, your problem is connected to line endings not to character encoding. Xtherion use LF as line end while Windows applications uses CR+LF. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline But it is possible edit this files also on Windows. You just need some more intelligent plain text editor than notepad... or any other M$ software. For example multiplatform jEdit - www.jedit.org - line ending is than detected automatically or you can set it manually. L.

Thanks Ladislav I knew enough to know it was a LF/CR,LF issue, but not enough to know that encoding would not affect it. I'll try jEdit.

It was not because of encoding - but because of end of line translation setting in xtherion. I have fixed this already, it should not happen in next developement snapshot or release. Regards, S. 2008/4/14 Bruce Mutton <bruce.mutton@paradise.net.nz>:

Amazing!
