That is bad...  Then again, I've yet to find any programs which do this.
Since the de-facto standard for ST text files is to terminate them with
CRLF, that's the way to go.  Any program which is written in such a way
so as to blow up if it receives a CRLF terminated line will blow up on
most ST text files and can safely be considered buggy...

  Writing a routine which will read text terminated with CR, LF, or CRLF
is non-trivial, but not too difficult.  If you're really having problems
with this, please contact me directly.  Include the current code for the
input loop, and I'll send back a portable version that can handle all 3
forms....
