I was experimenting in Think C (4.0) and it seems that the stdio routines don`t properly distinguish \n and \r. I was under the impression that on the Mac, lines were separated by returns, \r. But whenever I read I get newlines, \n, instead. Similarly, when I print out \n's, \r`s seem to really get output. Now this may be a feature to help portability across UNIX systems that use newlines as line separators, but I was unable to find this documented in the manuals. What gives? -ME
