I think that you ought to get a new compiler.  Kylix is ``no 
longer enhanced, supported or marketed by Borland.''

The format that Linux uses is LF, not CR/LF.  If Borland used to 
use--many aeons ago--CR/LF for line breaks in Linux, that's 
because they didn't read the spec.

By the way, do the MPlayer developers provide customer support 
for compiling with Kylix?

Given the fact that there is no strict SRC definition, we fall 
back on the ``every OS outputs its native type.''
