Indeed! My mistake just made me find out that Acorn used that inversion on Acorn MOS.

According to this[1] (at page 449) the OSNEWL routine outputs '\n\r'.

What the hell those guys were thinking??? :p

"OSNEWL
This call issues an LF CR (line feed, carriage return) to the currently selected
output stream. The routine is entered at &FFE7."
