IMHO, the best idea is to scan for a LF.  If you find a CR, then
ignore it.  This means that you can read in text files that were
produced on Unix/Amiga/whatever which only have LFs, directly.

If more CP/M utilities did this (UNARC does when typing a file from
an archive), then life would be much nicer, and I could throw away
my unix2cpm program.
