This was a subject of argument many moons ago. Try looking up the
archives, wherever they may be. Basically Squeak can do the platform
thing ok if you use CrLFFileStream instead of a plain FileStream. Many
parts of the system do, some don't. No major messing around is needed.
My favourite simple answer would be to make FileStream _be_
CrLfFileStream.

you'd be a fool to try to mess with .pr files in a text editor. No user
servicable parts in there!
