Not really -- Emacs has plenty of support.  Others explained that. One
thing I use sometimes with broken files is
M-x universal-coding-system-argument, or

C-x RET c

and then I might say 'dos' and then open a file, forcing Emacs to
assume it has DOS line endings.

BTW, I thought MacOS stopped doing their own funny line endings about
a decade ago?  Wikipedia knows, of course; I'm too lazy to check.
