I understand that obsolete Mac OS sends CR as an EOL indicator, UNIX
sends LF, and Micro$haft Winblow$ sends CRLF. How does all this get
fixed in Gopher? What I mean is, how come a Windoze client, expecting
CRLF, is unburdened by a UNIX server sending it LF's only? Has Gopher
standardized on CR/LF/CRLF? Is it the client's responsibility? Is it
the server's responsibility?
