But that is not a CGI thing.  And if the CGI is written with octals for
linefeeds and carriage returns, then that doesn't even come into play.
What you are referring to is one of many cross-platform issues, such as
unimplemented functions.  Linefeed meta-characters fall into that vein.
But as far as CGI code itself, there is no difference.
