Notepad wouldn't recognize Unix line endings and would interpret the whole file as one line. Word wrapping doesn't fix that.

Oh I see. Yes, I remember that.

FYI, notepad can cover this use case now, as it can handle more character encodings and line-endings.

There was also some weirdness where you could not have the status bar and word wrapping enabled at the same time.
