ith a newline
character.  For this reason, it is important that the <VAR>filter</VAR>
recognizes its last input line even if it ends without a newline, and that
it doesn't add an undesired trailing newline at the end.  The <SAMP>`sed&acute;</SAMP>
program on some platforms is known to ignore the last line of input if it
is not terminated with a newline.  You can use GNU <CODE>sed</CODE> instead; it
does not have this limitation.
