CRLF is a holdover from the teletype days. Back when a carriage return really meant return the carriage to the left margin, and line feed moved up the platen.

If you just did a CR without a LF, your next row of type would overstrike the first, useful when creating ASCII art.

I was just thinking the same thing. In my PCP-8 days on a DEC teletype (or Lear Sieglar ADM80) ^i was tab, ^m was return, ^j line feed.
