Re: Unix file to PC, weird LF-CR

["Adam Lang" <aalang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is because Microsoft "embraced and extended" end of lines.  Unix only
uses one character to end lines (either LF or CR ... can not recall).  Goofy
assed MS uses CRLF to denote end of line.

If you open the unix text file in wordpad, it handles the the unix style
correctly.
