That was true for the old Mac operating system.  With the release
of Mac OS X, it is a Unix core with a pretty GUI on top.  Standard
line terminator is now linefeed (like every other Unix around).
I spend most of my day in a terminal window on a Mac -- it's Unix.

There are a few old programs that still require carriage return
as line terminator.  But they are rare.
