C factor is everybody expects bytes to 8 bits and CR,LF line endings are

I think a character can be 7 or more bits, a int something bigger like
16. ( As
far as I know C never made it to a PDP8 ).
C is the obvious choice. In either case, you have
to be careful that
you don't wreck the portability by using non-portable I/O.
Er, how big is an int? a pointer?
