Given that the code is looking for '<BR>' sequences in the file, I'm guessing that it contains HTML code. The HTML standard has no requirement for a particular line break sequence in the text of the HTML; whether Carriage Return, Line Feed, or a combination; or any line breaks at all for that matter. HTML files received from non-DOS/Windows servers often will not conform to the Carriage Return+Line Feed sequence common on that platform. Full HTML parsers expect this and don't concern themselves with line terminators. So I suspect your assessment is probably spot on.
