	Have you tried using the Programmers File Editor (PFE)?

	This editor (FREEWARE, by the way) allows files to be written as
	either DOS or UNIX files.

	I advise you to download a copy of the editor from the following
	location and give it a try...

	You may like it so much that you start using it in preference to

	the likes of NOTEPAD and WORDPAD on Windows...

	Hope this solves your problem.
