I too have spent time writing code to deblock files with various delimite
rs. Darn waste of time! Some
hardware devices LF just moved the platen up one, while CR moved the head
back to the left margin.
I don't know why Unix used NL (==LF) instead. Perhaps a different har
dware device? I'm even

One reason (probably not the only one, but one):
Bare CR on the model of DECwriter commonly shipped as PDP-11 console
terminals tended to foul the ribbon, especially if you issued it from

You may end up with the x0d on one record and the x0a on the next
record, so you would need also a joincont leading x0a before

This works fine when the records are delimited by '0d0a' or '0a'.
Last night I received a file whose records are delimited by '0d'. Things
