Hello,

1) isn't 0x0d, 0x0a trasparently handled by C as char
'\n' under DOS/Win? In this case I would suspect that
only the two values LF | CR would be needed.

2) stated that the eol character is handled by
variable eolbyte for both grepping and outputting, and
I don't have a MAC, can the \r be sent to the terminal
during output presentation under MAC or should it be
sent as \n instead?

3) I would be glad to implement the feature if it's
needed and it is not already being implemented. Is it?
