I'm becoming convinced that just using Unix-style \n even on Windows is 
nearly always the right thing to do. Windows Notepad is the only Windows 
program I've come across that still has any problem with Unix-style line 
endings. And what programmer ever uses that? Everything else handles \n just 
fine these days, even on Windows. (With the possible exception of Batch 
files - I haven't tried that...)
