Of course, CR/LF is unique to DOS/Windows. Randy thinks this is a 
compiler error, since the ARM requires logical line and page terminators 
at the end of file. Both GNAT and ObjectAda V7.2.2 SE have this problem; 
Randy says that Janus Ada does not.

Note that PragmARC.Get_Line has been in use since 1991, and there have 
been no reports of this problem being encountered in actual use.
