Actually, VMS don't natively have any record terminators for text files.
So lines terminated by CR, LF, CR+LF or whatever, are all wrong.
Huh? For VMS, "native" is any file format that RMS32 supports. In VMS V1,
that means either fixed or variable length records, but sometime later stream-CR,
stream-LF, and stream-CRLF record format support was added both to RMS32 and RMS11.
Right. I put that a bit wrong. Traditionally, the normal text file
format was/is variable length records with implied CRLF. I should have
said that rather than "natively".
