Right, including line terminators, page terminators, and file
terminators, if they exist, and which vary from system to system (under
UNIX, lines are terminated by LF; under DOS/Windows, by CR LF; perhaps
someone can comment on what happens with this approach under VMS).
Therefore, this approach is rarely used for production programs, which
usually want a platform-independent representation of the file.
