Cuis did chose to not support unicode for simplicity and stick to
8-bits chars (CP-1252 ? iso-8859-L1 ? iso-8859-L15 ?).
Squeak/Pharo cannot afford this choice.
So there will be a few differences here and there.

For line-ending, Cuis could provide a simplified version of nextLine
linesDo: etc... based only on CR
For the displaying of LF, CR, or any other non printable ASCII that
should be generalized and an option available in Squeak too.
