Historical question: LF vs. CR\LF in text files

[Bob Weissman]

- UNIX's representation was (IMHO) a real innovation since it
- simplifies breaking text into lines in software.  The cost is
- that you need a device driver to interpret control characters
- on the way in from and out to the terminal.

The old TENEX operating system used ^_ (\037) as the end of line
character.  What a pain that was!
