Digital BW, The Print

Byte for byte they are identical.
You are probably looking at the file with Notepad.  Yes, they look
weird but that is because on Windows the end of line marker is a
<carriage-return><line-feed> where as on Mac/Unix they just use
a <line-feed>.  So Notepad thinks it's one big line.
I think WordPad will read the file and show the separated lines.
