Subject: What does a Script do to Windows text files?

Does a cygwin bash script (or awk) alter text files? I use a little script
someone gave me in cygwin to add a line to a number of Windows text files:

for F in *.txt
do
   awk '{if (NR==7) {print "Datei: " FILENAME};
         print}' "$F" > tmp.txt
   mv tmp.txt "$F"
done

It works, but it does *something* else to my text files. It seems to alter
all the linefeeds or all the blank lines. This causes problems when I want
to import those text files into Asksam later on. The files *look* the same,
however.
