Well, it is 13. Or 0x0d. Or '\r'. TAB and LFD are not standard C macros,
either. They are defined in texk/makeindexk/mkind.h:

  #define TAB '\t'
  #define LFD '\n'

So, for consistency, you should perhaps go for this:

  #define CRN '\r'

although I've never seen CRN written for Carriage Return. CR and LF are
very common, but Carriage Return in 3 letters, I don't know...

So, what is it all about when they say "MacOS X is Unix"? ;-)
