Thanks!

I have several comments:

This fragment from dtou.c doesn't seem to cover the case of "d:foo".
(A similar problem exists in utod.c.)

If you open the file in binary mode, it would make sense to handle the
case of a lone CR character (without an LF right after it), instead of
removing it, like the library does.  Also, you need to handle the case
of trailing ^Z characters (done by the library in the current
version).

This doesn't seem to handle the case when the buffer read from the
input file happens to end with a CR, whose LF is in the next
buffer-ful (because the value of iscr is reset after each call to
`read').
