nano, e. g., supports the MS-DOS-file format (or whatever it's
called) and thus you can save your text files with nano (C+O, M+D)
the way Windows users are able to read them properly.

Additionally, there are some converters able to read your Unix-like
text files and convert them to the format mentioned above.
