I also did a fair amount of 68k work. I wrote most of the diagnostic
software I used to troubleshoot Atari ST machines.

That was after my time. I pretty much dropped out of those circles in
the early 90s, just before the PPC-based Macs came of age.

True. But is does matter when you code low-level I/O routines that read
stuff from disks, serial ports etc.

So, they automagically recognize the line-end convention, then? I've
never really thought about it since most (all?) of the stuff I do that
uses regexes is purely Unix with no DOS or Mac stuff to worry about.

While I think of it, MacOS-X is Unix-based but Mac nonetheless. What's
the EOL for that system?
