Can't you directly generate your file as DOS text? either by writing on a
text-mount, or by explicitely writing to a file opened in text mode, by
open("...", O_WRONLY|O_TEXT) or fopen("...", "wt");
As you decribe the problem (wordpad understand the file but notepad displays
black rectangles instead of the EOL I think), you need not convert to UNIX
from DOS but the other way round: native Windows programs need CF/LF line
terminations -- at least old buggy ones like bug^H^H^Hnotepad :-)
