#2508 — writing Unix files on Windows

On Windows, println uses \r\n line endings.

What is the canonical way to write files with \n line endings on
Windows?

The catch with setting it is Oracle says you should not.

That is always a problem when moving a text file from Windows to Unix. 
There is a Unix utility for conversion, dos2unix and there might be the 
reverse I can't remember.

On Unix systems, there will likely be both "dos2unix" and "unix2dos" 
utility programs available.

If not, tr is an alternative.

$ tr -d '\r' < dos.txt > new.txt

It is a pretty easy utility to write.  I use Unix conventions on
Windows files whose ultimate destination is the web.  I though there
may be some elegant way to produce them directly.
