Constructor was a Mac application. On the Mac, the traditional line ending
is a CR (0x0D). PalmOS was designed to be similar to MacOS, but seems to
use the UNIXish LF (0x0A) as its standard line ending.
Note, Constructor's resources may be getting converted to the proper line
ending by the PalmRez postlinker. When they designed that, they needed to
take Mac resources and make them work on PalmOS, so that kind of conversion
isn't unheard of. In fact, the whole "transliteration" feature of PalmRez
seems keyed to change the Mac character set into the Palm character set.
