Dennis, are you creating these .csv files from Rev? Or is this a general question? If you're doing it from Rev, both Eric and Jon were pointing you in the right direction. If you're looking for more general-purpose application solution, many text editors will allow you to pick the output file format (many times it's buried, though). For example, in BBEdit, you do "Save As", then click the Options button and there's a popup for "Line Breaks" with choices for Macintosh, Unix, and DOS. I use TextPad on Windows, and they have a "File Format" popup in the Save As dialog. Anyway, you get the idea...
