- quadTCNL is just the newline character, ASCII CR or 13 (0 origin).
- Since you're on a pc, you don't have to play with EBCIDIC. But you do
- have to edit all the functions. My guess (I don't know APL2) is you'll
- have to make up some variable name to use, say qtcnl, globally
- make it ASCII 13 (probably the 14'th element of quad AV), and replace
- all the quadTCNL's with qtcnl. I have heard of APL ws that will do
- that sort of thing for you and if I had to do alot of this I'd write
- my own - it's easy in STSC at least what with quad vr and quad ss.
