I don't see any unsafety with the ORD function: different systems use
different characters sets, thus the resulting character code values can
vary.

Similarily, different systems use different line endings, thus the
procedure Out.Ln may output an LF character on Unix-like systems and the
CR/LF sequence on Windows systems.

The programmer simply has to be aware of such differences.
