So historically speaking, MS DOS is doing the right thing.
- pvg 9y ago1971, really - https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc158 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc158 In 1973, the 'internet' was yay big: https://twitter.com/workergnome/status/807704855276122114/photo/1 https://twitter.com/workergnome/status/807704855276122114/ph... Apple sold more Apple I's than that in its first few months of existence.
- toomanybeersies 9y agoAhh, you're correct. I wasn't sure if CRLF was actually codified in rfc158, I just did a search for "CRLF" on it, I didn't realise they were using the hex values of CR and LF (X'0D' X'0A'). The internet is now 8 or 9 million devices big, and CRLF is still the standard newline for internet protocols.
