Windows, Mac, and Linux/Unix - all three have different EOL characters. The
STL streams work correctly on all platforms as long as you read the text
files in the format that corresponds to that platform. If you're writing in
one platform format and try reading in another, you are on your own. Either
process EOL yourself, or convert text files, for example, using dos2unix
(unix2dos) utils.
