Actually I think the timing of addition of those STREAM_xx formats was a 
little too early to be credited/blamed on the Mac. STREAM_CRLF would have 
been because of the massive popularity of MS-DOS and the IBM PC by that 
time, and STREAM_LF was similarly a sign of feeling the pressure from 
Unix. STREAM_CR ... maybe that was just stuck in for completeness. I 
really don’t know of any other OSes that might have used it, apart from 
old MacOS.
