That is a common problem... text in unix ends lines with <LF> only, and
DOS/Windows uses <CR><LF>.  And yes, the most universal "always" there tool to
convert with is DOS's edit command... just open, then save, then exit.  If you
search the net for names like "unix2dos" or:
unix and dos and "text format" and convert
or some such query.. there are several tools out there..
