From my PC I often have to edit files residing on different servers, Windows, unix, or Mac. In this environment, I need an editor to recognize a file's existing end-of-line character convention and retain it. I also need the editor to tell me what end-of-line convention the file has, and allow me to change it (convert it) if needed.
How does this correspond to what Zeus knows how to do?
I see in Properties > General that there's ability to set end-of-line convention on a per-file-type (language) basis. This hopefully only affects newly created files? In general even this would not be especially useful to me, but so long as I know what the default is and can force it as needed, that's fine.

Cross-platform newline handling?

The EOL options found in the Editor Options menu, General panel section define the default EOL marker behaviour.
The EOL options in the Properties page can then be used to override this default behavour.
When the editor is automatic mode then the EOL details found in the file when it is opened will be maintained.
This hopefully only affects newly created files?
If this option is not set to automatic then the selected EOL marker will be used for creates and file save.
The default configuration is automatic which means Zeus will maintain the EOL found in the file when it is opened and new files will be created with Windows EOL markings.
