in thread Check for "unix2dos" (CRLF) in binary files

Actually, my recollection is that the pre-10 mac text files used just CR (no LF) -- this caused a lot of trouble for the unwary, because any unix or win/dos text process would slurp a whole mac text file as a single "line": there were no LF's to mark end-of-line.

I sure don't miss the old macs.
