Yes, but only until Mac OS 9; since Mac OS X (Darwin) it uses \n as *BSD 
does. My impression is that those systems supporting \r do not play a 
role, cf. [1].

Thus, I do not mind if besides \r\n and \n also \r is supported, but I 
do not see any need for it. And to my knowledge so far \r did not work.

(A colleague of mine actually had once a problem with a Fortran program 
from some collaborator; I forgot either the Fortran file or some input 
file used \r and either of it did not work with gfortran.)
