Ditto.

But in the TTY era I think it used to be CR first and then LF simply 
because returning the carriage took a relatively long time, and the 
hardware could be advancing the paper while the carriage was still in motion.

At least, this thread has triggered that hazy memory. Which is probably 
wrong. :-)
