Hang over from my real job, spitting out C++/C# code where the \r is usually
mandatory. Try sending just a \n to a printer. True, who sends stuff to a
real printer these days, but I did thirty years ago when I started to really
learn how to program :-) IBM systems back then of course with really small
numbers like system/370 model 135 (about as powerfull as a 80368).

Also many MS utilities (read: notpad which what you get from a view->source
in IE) require the \r.

It doesn't hurt the *nix systems.
