No, as I said in my previous E-Mail, Emacs, for example, does NOT put
a newline behind the last line. I ran in this problem many times with
Makefiles and my own Makefiles have now the following last line:

# This is the last line

just to be sure that the last meaningful line is interpreted.

Cheers,
Fritz

P.S.: Some people might argue Emacs being an editor ...
