   Saving will only be allowed, when all conflicts were solved. If the file
   already exists and the "Backup files"-option is enabled then the existing
   file will be renamed with an ".orig"-extension, but if such a file exists
   it will be deleted. When you exit or start another diff-analysis and data
   wasn't saved yet, then <span class="application">KDiff3</span> will ask if you want to save, cancel or proceed
   without saving. (<span class="application">KDiff3</span> does not catch any signals. So if you "kill" <span class="application">KDiff3</span>
   then your data will be lost.)
</p><p>
   Line endings are saved according to the normal method on the underlying
   operating system. For Unices each line ends with an linefeed-character "\n",
   while for Win32-based systems each line ends with a carriage-return + a linefeed
   "\r\n". <span class="application">KDiff3</span> does not preserve the line-endings of the input files, which
   also means that you shouldn't use <span class="application">KDiff3</span> with binary files.
