The following is blatantly ripped off from http://www.editpadpro.com/tricklinebreak.html
"A problem that often bites people working with different platforms, such as a PC running Windows and a web server running Linux, is the different character codes used to terminate lines in text files.
Windows, and DOS before it, uses a pair of CR and LF characters to terminate lines. UNIX (Including Linux and FreeBSD) uses an LF character only. The Apple Macintosh, finally, uses a CR character only. In other words: a complete mess."
