I tried to say that it was not so simple. Yes, obviously Multics had the LF line end convention. Some systems saved files internally in a record format so the line end was whatever what the software decided to print out there. But mostly I was just reacting to the silly idea that CRLF would be right and lone LF not: Microsoft didn't come up with that idea. It was there already in 1960's and perhaps useful when you didn't want to do any line drivers for converting strings at output. But that's not really any more "right" than other conventions.
