Nope. The standard for Unix/Linux is to end each line with just 0d.

The standard for _Macs_ is (or at least was) just 0a. Something in

have read somewhere that that changed.


I suggest your mind has recesses that are fabricating information.

LF ASCII x'0a' Unix, Linux, and MacOS X
CR ASCII x'0d' Mac OS up to and including OS 9
CRLF ASCII x;0d0a' CP/M, DOS, OS/2, Win

The list is not complete. Win and OS/2 use CRLF because DOS used it. DOS used it because QDOS used it. QDOS used it because CP/M used it. Not sure why both characters we chosen by CP/M.
