Thank you, Methuselah!

Hey, on the old OSes that *I* used, there was no concept of a "line 
separator". *Real* OSes used *records* (fixed-length space-padded, or 
variable-length) for all files, including text files :-).  <CR><LF> was 
only used for formatting the file for printing..

Back to the "bash"ing..
