[plt-scheme] Help on newline when writing to a file
The basic issue is the difference between the representation on a
newline on Unix and Windows.
On Unix a newline is always just "\n". Windows, for some reason I
cannot fathom, decided that a newline should be the two characters
"\r\n". However, when a file is opened in text mode Windows processes
the port so this two character sequence is read and written as the
single "\n" as in Unix. If a file is opened in binary mode this is
not the case. All this confusion comes from this design decision.
