Done.

Better not.
I have no idea what putchar('\n') will do on non-UNIX systems.
Besides, we are talking about a UNIX tools to handle UNIX manuals,
and none of the other UNIX manuals restates explicitly that it is
using UNIX conventions. I consider this obvious without saying.
Or, if putchar('\n') is doing the wrong thing on some system,
and there is a more portable way, we might consider using said
more portable way instead, unless it is too cumbersome.
Yours,
Ingo
