Did you check the subject of this thread; it starts = "Side remarks..." -- I

I am told that the TeX Pascal sources are quite = difficult to read.

How can it be an assumption of TeX, if there are = different workable ways to
implement those character translations on each = platform?

OK. Give me the quote which tells me how to implement = newlines translations
on the MacOS platform, so I can tell which one is the = right one.
