The DEC Alpha C compiler objects to every CR in a CR/LF-delimited file.
Borland C compilers accept LF-delimited files, but tlink objects to a .DEF
file without CR's.  And under os-9, files are CR delimited and \n means CR.
(All these comments apply to particular versions which I have used.)  Grief
is the right word...
