is the value of CR really platform dependant?

But I'm not reading text files, I'm getting data via a network 
connection and I need to manually alter the line endings to display 
correctly within Revolution text fields.

Is CR a real constant that varies by platform or do I need to convert 
the text I receive from the database according to the platform my 
stack is running on?

Thanks, Kee
