Yes, I can see that readily/ I get it, it just seems that fixing it
at the source (gg) is the answer; because there will always be someone
new to the list who is using gg because its part of their suite and
because its convenient (I mean, that's why I tried to use it). I think
we need to be beating up on the gg people so they get their stuff working.

agreed.

agreed again, on both counts.

No doubt. Well, I don't mind dealing with it/ and frankly, I don't
really think its a python problem anyway at the root. All files should
have standard delimiters. What I used to call flat-text files should
have standard line-end delimiters, and standard file-end EOF markers.
All OS's should comply with the standard... for instance, there should
not be a windows x'0a' x'0d' line ending, and a unix x'0d' line ending.
Well, and now that I'm thinking about this again, since we have
unicode, maybe we should have an entire set of standard "file"
delimiters for flat-files.
But the bottom line (pun intended) is that I just want to suck the
lines in, and I only want the system to have to handle the delimiters;
I'm not asking for any changes mind you (at this point) just thinking
out-loud.
Cheers dude.
