Mac Hugs switches \r and \n when reading and writing files

[pjp]

I am using Basic Hugs, Jun 20 1999, on Mac OS 8.6.

The following session appears to do the right thing:

   Prelude> writeFile "test" $ map chr [0..15]

   Prelude> do {f <- readFile "test"; putStr $ show $ map ord f}
   [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]
   Prelude>


But if I do a hex dump of the file "test" I get:

    00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0D 0B 0C 0A 0E 0F    ................
                                  ^^       ^^

If I create the file "test" using Hugs on a Unix system then read it using
Mac Hugs I get:

   [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,13,11,12,10,14,15]
                        ^^       ^^

It appears that Mac Hugs switches \r and \n characters when it reads and
writes files.



By the way, if Mac Hugs allowed command line editing it would be almost perfect!
