[Radiance-general] Can I safely convert linefeeds in cal files to line-returns for an easy life in DOS

[George Chadwick]

Hello Radiance gurus and other folks.

 

Asking from a standpoint of ignorance in Radiance/UNIX, will it do any harm if I convert all the supplied .cal files to DOS-readable files, by stripping out what I presume are the bare line-feeds – a UNIX trademark I presume -  and substituting DOS return characters, so they don’t cause unreadable/invisible characters and line overflows in my DOS/Windows word-processing apps?

 

As it happens, I am forced to use the command line in a DOS box in a Window$ environment to run the Radiance bin/programs.  I got these by installing DeskRad.  Thanks to obligatory corporate hardware/software upgrades I lost AutoCrap2000 forever, so I can't use DeskRad itself.  Undaunted I am hoping to learn to use Radiance directly in the DOS-box, hands-on from scratch.

 

 

Your humble novice in trepidation
