This is not completly correct. Using OSX (10.1) just mark the input lines 
from the head of the "Parsing Simple Data" webpage, copy and paste them 
into a TextEdit document, save the document and "od -c" shows that all 
lines end with \r.

But when you paste the same lines as standard input to "od -c" or to the 
parser, the lines are terminated with \n.

Can someone explain this? Do different applications handle newlines in the 
pasteboard buffer in different ways? Why?
