But the difference is here nevertheless. Under TOS, static initialization make 
*printf output LF only while it should output CRLF.

He means that he needs to replace every single '\n' in source code by '\r\n' 
for the program to be useable under TOS.


I would vote for the removal of static initialization (ie application of 
Patrice's patch). Then, if we have trouble with some software under MiNT, we 
will need to find a way to fix this without breaking TOS support.
