  Oh, really?

  In csh:

% cat testfile
line 1
line 2
% tr -d "\012" < testfile
line 1line 2% tr -d '\012' < testfile
line 1line 2%

  In sh:

$ tr -d "\012" < testfile
line 1line 2$ tr -d '\012' < testfile
line 1line 2$

  More relevantly (once again, in csh):

% echo \012
012
% echo "\012"
\012
% echo '\012'
\012
%

  So, what were you saying, Randal? :-)
