I believe this happens because *nix uses only a carriage-return as its
end-of-record marker, whereas winders is expecting a carriage-return/line-feed
combination. Many winders editors such as UltraEdit (look it up on the 'Net),
either recognizes this automatically and compensates, or allows you to tell the
program you are reading a *nix-generated file. I am not sure if you can tell
Linux editors to write CR-LF's

Subject: [newbie] Copy Files
I saved a /var/log/*file on a floppy. In order for me to view it in Linux,
I have to type 'pico <filename>' , and I can view the file as it's written.
When I look at the same file in Windows it looks like one big paragraph,
instead of the 200 + lines of entries of the original file. Is there a way
to save the file in Linux so that it can be viewed in it's original format
in Windows?
>in Linux the file looks like this:
1 adffsgh
2 dfgtg=hjeeur

200 ftryu =iop;p;

Thanks
