I think it would. AFAIK, the Macs used to have "\r" such that
Unix: "\n"
Windoze: "\r\n"
Mac : "\r"
but it could well be that this has only been for Mac OS x.y, x <= 9,
i.e., is no longer true for MacOS X (which would behave like `Unix' then).
Brian Ripley is currently enjoying holidays AFAIK; I think he
might want to shed more light on this as well.
