    Hi, Rich Felker!

Sometime (on Friday, October  7 at 22:40) I've received something...

    Tell me, please, which window$ user will search for conversion tool
when he just goes to see some avi file with srt subtitles? I've sometime
tried to see it with srt files with no LF in it. I've tried two players
under window$ (no other OS was there!) and some subtitles was as crap.
I've got blamed for crap subtitles. You want to be blamed forever? SRT
file isn't just text file but file in special format which contains text
lines. So let it be in native format, which is with CRLF on end of each
line!

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
