Why is --noconvert CLI parameter/rc option not respected? about nano-win HOT 2 CLOSED

On Windows the function open() opens file in text mode by default. This means that if you try saving a file in MS-DOS format, nano will add a CR before every LF, but the CRT inserts another CR before every LF, resulting lines that end with CR CR LF. (By default however, nano does not insert CR because UNIX EOL is the default, while the CRT still adds a CR so you get MS-DOS EOLs, which 'works' by accident.)

Please refer to nano's authors for the precise description of noconvert; I have no idea about it.

Wow, quite complicated but I think I managed to finally get the gist of your answer rationale. And just to clear: by CRT you mean the microsoft "C RunTime"?

ps: sorry for the very late response :/
