When I open a file in TextPad and look at the document Properties I see the following:
Code Set: ANSI
File Type: Netscape
Does anyone know what file type "Netscape" means? I think it has something to do with the end-of-line characters being used but in what way?

Yes, it's represented by the sequence CRCRLF, or 0x0d0x0d0x0a. I have no idea why it's known as the Netscape file type -- possibly because it was introduced by them. I've never seen such a file until my Perforce client somehow pulled down a source file with this style of line endings.Does anyone know what file type "Netscape" means?
