Re: Problems with text file going from Linux to MS Windows

If I want to send a text file to an MS Windows user there are problems: in
fact, in MS Windows a text file which has been composed under Linux is not
correctly read: the line ends are not recognised.  The remedy is to cut the text
and paste it into an MS Word file, then cut it again and re-paste it into the
text file, which is not so good because this way I need rebooting every time
into the Windows partition.

Can anybody suggest some solution to this problem?

Thanks,

Besides the conversion methods already mentioned,
Wordpad handles Unix line ends just fine (unlike
Notepad).

Cheers,
