>CRLF?
Carriage Return Line Feed. DOS, OS/2 and windoze use that as an
end-of-line sequence while *ix uses LF for the purpose. To further confuse
the issue, the *ix uses the term new line to refer to the LF character,
although it has noting to do with either the EBCDIC or the Unicode new
line characters.
The application protocols used with TCP/IP, e.g., FTP, SMTP, normally use
CRLF as an end of line indication regardless of what the communicating
systems use internally.
