is the value of CR really platform dependant?

Kee

see the ASCII chart at

http://www.jimprice.com/jim-asc.htm

The chart is in Hex.

The "A" , a decimal 10, is a LF

the "D", a decimal 13, is a CR

The notes say that on  the LF " On Unix systems, moves to a new line AND all
the way to the left."

So on a Unix machines, a LF acts as a LF CR.


I hope this is helpful.
