[racket] Question about open-output-file

Another approach is to read the port in line by line via read-line with
'any, which removes the line terminator for you, and then you can add the
os-specific line terminator, below shows how to do so with +:windows.

(require (planet bzlib/os)) ;; use +:windows to specify os-based branching

(define (copy-lines in out) ;; out is in binary mode
  (let loop ((line (read-line in 'any)))
    (unless (eof-object? line)
      (write-string (format (+:windows "~a\r\n" "~a\n") ;; if windows use
\r\n, else use \n
                            line) out)
      (loop (read-line in 'any)))))


Cheers,
