True, this will count carriage returns and not newlines.  In fact, it
will count only carriage returns, which isn't what he had in mind.  He
wanted to count all characters, counting newlines as two characters (ie,
cr/lf).  Two ways to do it:
	if (c == '\n') chcnt +=2; else chcnt++;

or for those who like the ternary operator (like me):

	c == '\n' ? chcnt +=2 : chcnt++;
