I think you are right that Rscript is unhappy to handle files with CR
line terminators. But IIUC, the purpose of Rscript is to enable R
script execution on unix-like systems like:
#!/path/to/Rscript --vanilla
print(1:10)
So then I'm not sure how useful it is for Rscript to handle such
files. Why not convert to a more common and portable line termination
for your R script files?
