This is untested. This assumes ds=es and that they are loaded with
the correct values.

cld
mov al,0ah
mov edi,[u]
mov ecx,-1
repne scasb
not ecx
mov edi,[t]
mov esi,[u]
rep movsb
mov [t],edi

when finished t will point to the byte after the line feed. The code
might have to save some registers depending on how you're using the code.
Also under os2 what is in the segment registers, does ds=es or what as
ds and es must contain the selector of the data to be searched. I'll need more
details if you want fully working code as edi and ecx might have a variable
in it. Are you going to make it inline assembly.
