But I have it in AUTHORS, as one of the the few things i've done that
worth mentioning.

Anyway I was trying to avoid entering into this useless flamewar, by
setting an end to it.

To summarize:
- srt is text format and should be in OS text format.
- srt writing program write is in win text format. (all windows and most unix).
- some hardware players / vendors  require it to be in win format.

Basically this flamewar is a reflection of much older war, these of
text files. As nobody had won it, we can keep fighting forever.
And to be the confusion complete I think that Mac still use the <cr>
only convention.


Anyway I had send mails to subrip author(s) with request for
specifications or comment.
I have no doubt of the answer as there is explicit <lf><cr> code in
the SubRip program (as shown above).
