However, Turbo C v1.5 does accept \n or \r\n terminated lines (that's
why I'm still using it), while v2.01 does not.  I hope that Turbo C++
v1.0 and Turbo C v3.0 have this problem fixed.

Oh, well, I wish they would fix it since it is extremely useful to
compile from the same source file on DOS and UNIX at the same time.  I
hate having to convert files all the time so that's why I use Turbo C
v1.5 while v2.0 is just sitting on my disk unused.
