This is not the point. Of course, you can built support for this into
each and every program. But: Why should you? The OS (or the run-time
library of your language) knows how to deal correctly with this. Just
open the file and text mode and let the conversion take place
automatically.
I remember a general programming rule:
"Don't try to re-invent the wheel."
Doing conversions between different formats is the task of special
conversion tools, not of each and every compiler/editor/... .
As you were already told, there are many more conventions available than
just CR, LF, CR/LF. Some new ones may come up later.
Regards,
Spiro.
