Rex, as Tim says, the PDB format has always been 1 atom per line. But which program are you using to display the PDB file? Some MS-Win programs (Notepad is one that springs to mind) don't recognise Unix-style line-breaks (i.e. newline char) and display the file as one continuous string. If that's what's happened try displaying the file using a different editor.
