Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

Similar remarks apply, BTW, to other EPICS tools. For instance, I noticed in the past that dbExpand silently ignores the last line of a dbd include file if it doesn't end in a newline. This has caused endless grief to Windows users, as editors for Windows generally don't automatically add a newline at the end.

If this hasn't already been fixed, I propose to put it on the list of things to be done before the next release of base. I'd say chances that people rely on the faulty behaviour are practically zero.
