Editing Unix files in UltraEdit

If you use UltraEdit in Windows, and you often edit files created in a Unix-based system, you probably get an annoying message every time you open the file that says: File is probably not DOS format. You then have to deal with the message box that pops up. Very annoying. There is however an easy fix.

Go to Advanced -> Configuration to pop up the Configuration editing panel. In the "File Handling" section, select the "DOS/UNIX/MAC Handling entry. This will bring up a pane on the right side of the dialog. In that pane, there is an entry called "UNIX/MAC file detection/conversion".

If you are editing the UNIX files remotely, you'll want to set this to "disable" so that the files are not converted to DOS format (since they will still be on a UNIX machine). If you are editing the files locally (files which were originally created on UNIX machine, but now live on your PC), you'll want to select the "Automatically convert to DOS format" option.

Once you save this change, you'll no longer get the annoying error message.
