Summary: cr/lf in TOS.  My umacs does it right.

[]

Standard files on the ST end each line with a CR and then also a LF.
So does MS-DOS, as far as I know.  UNIX uses just a LF, without a CR.
My version of microEMACS has many sections that go like:
	#if AtST
		...
	#else		/* UNIX */
		...
	#endif
and one of the differences is just those line ends.  BUT - it will read
a file right either way, so if you have a UNIX file on the ST you can fix
it by reading it into umacs and then writing it.  The report of file length
inside umacs is also adjusted to reflect the space it will take on the
disk when saved, on that system.  Note: that's MY version of umacs, not
to be confused with 3.7 and the like, which are separate branches on the
tree of evolution of David Conroy's original program.
