- naikrovek 3y agothank you. I was about to look, but saw this.

Probably the biggest influence on both the Internet standard and Microsoft was DEC. And actually, it is used by Unix too, in the TTY layer: Unix by default translates LF to CRLF on output - and that translation is in the POSIX standard. So the claim that CRLF isn’t in POSIX is false
