Arrrggghhh - Im guessing your American ... Texas maybe ?

"edit" will edit CR terminated text (unix) - saving the file always
generate CR+LF terminated text (windows). So loading the file into edit
and saving it again converts from one to the other using only the windows
machine.

Can you feel me banging my head on the desk yet ?

After all this im convinced you still don't understand the problem.....
