That would likely "break" the CRC value shown on the top line of a
segment. Not sure if that matters, but...
That actually raises a question I've wondered about... Is there
actually a need these days to create segments/nodelists with something
like 'makenl'? I use it, and understand it, but is it really required?
Could not the segments just be edited like any other text file, with a
normal text editor? I think the CRC is maybe used in "diff" processing,
but who actually needs/uses a diff file any more?
