[p4] (no subject)

[Looney, James B]

Why not use a trigger to check the LineEnd value when the user
creates/edits
the workspace?  That'd cover future workspace creation/updates, although
it's fairly easy to write a script that can also go through all clients
checking the LineEnd value and either reporting or changing it.
