Ok, I have to create a file for some Unix snobs and they require only a LF character as the line terminator.

set textmerge to chr10.txt
set textmerge on noshow

lcChr10 = chr(10)
\\<<chr(10)>>
\\<<lcChr10>>

set textmerge off
set textmerge to

If you hexedit the file you see that VFP8 has blissfully converted the LF character to a space. How can I get around this bug?
