DOS ain't dead

It accepts data files (e.g. *.ASM) in CRLF format but not *.SED scripts.

The old 2004 TC 2.01 default DOS build of Csed had buffering issues (i.e. slow!), so I rebuilt it with TC++ 1.01 (in 2016?).

HHsedGCC was SED15.ZIP, also rebuilt by me (2020), with GCC IA16 (since it was the only Sed which that particular compiler would rebuild). The LF-only problem was a library issue.
