One quick note: certain editors under DOS and Windows can properly
handle files with Unix line-terminations, and will write out the files
again with the proper Windows line termination.

I believe both the dos-based "EDIT" command which is shipped with
Windows 95 and 98, as well as the Emacs editor (ported to Windows NT ---
see my "Making Windows Civilized" web page at
http://mit.edu/tytso/www/nt-civilized.html) will both properly read in a
text file from Unix, allow you to edit it, and then write the file out
in the DOS text file format.
