linefeed/newline character, and encoding are for abc.
I have here, a quote from

Here's my two cents on this:
- on input, parse the file and use it as is
- do not change the file contents without the user asking you to. He
may have a different favourite abc program and may be evaluating
yours, and changing his file behind his back is unfriendly.
If you want
