Speaking as a long-time programmer on VMS, RMS VAR-CR wasn't half-bad for
programs that expected to be doing line-oriented I/O.  As long as you were
programming within some sort of "conventional" paradigm, all was fairly
rosy.  Well, as long as you abhorred abominations like Fortran carriage 
control.
It got very confusing when we admitted that there were other operating
systems and there were programming languages that were not called
MACRO or BLISS.
