Then what is the right name in C files? Lines like this:

(c != TAB) && (c != LFD) && (c != EOF))

should probably be

(c != TAB) && (c != LFD) && (c != "carriage return") && (c != EOF))

But I don't know the codename.

I think the eps files I copy from the OSX boxes also have only those
^M's instead of newlines...
