1  sample_text.txt
2  This is a file of text
3  to use for display purposes.

5  All lines are numbered
6  at the left so that the
7  line position in the file
8  can be easily determined.
9  Some lines are much longer than most lines, because this may be of some
10 interest as well.
11 If you count the characters in this line you will see that there are exactly
12 seventy-nine of them, which
13 is the maximum length you
14 should have for a line if
15 you expect to display it 
16 with a type command in a
17 command-line window and 
18 not have an automatic line
19 feed inserted at the end 
20 of the line.

22 The number of lines in this
23 file is more than the number
24 of lines in a standard command
25 window. This will enable a user
26 to see how the file behaves
27 in a situation where the length
28 of a file exceeds this standard
29 length.

31 Note that the file also has a
32 line feed following the last 
33 line in the file. When this final
34 line feed is missing from a file
35 of text, some programs (depending
36 on how they are written) may not
37 behave properly when processing 
38 the file. On the other hand, some
39 programs (again, depending on how
40 they are written) may not behave
41 properly unless the final line feed
42 *is* missing. Bottom line: code so
43 that it doesn't matter!
