The same is true of a ''tab'' character. How a tab character is treated can be changed (or nullified) in some operating systems, and also application programs. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:01, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

* IBM mainframes (CMS & TSO mostly) don't use ''newline'' symbols within a file.
* Tab characters are different in an ASCII system vs. an EBCDIC system.
* CMS systems rarely use periods in the fileIDs (they use ''filename filetype filemode'').
