PrintWriter has started to use unix style linebreaks.

Question

Hello,
I was running some text files generated under linux through a my Java program under Windows XP. Ever since then any program I write or run in Windows that uses PrintWriter will print to a file using unix style line breaks, ie. if I look at it in notepad everything appears on one line with little squares instead of line breaks. Does anyone know why Java won't use the dos line breaks anymore ?
I remember seeing someone else who had this problem but I never found out if and how they fixed it !

Answer 1

All I'm doing is putting a string into PrintWriter.println():
String fred = "Hello !";
String jim = "Wheee !";
PrintWriter out = null;
try
out = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("Stuff.txt"));
catch (Exception x)
System.out.println("Could not open the file Stuff.txt.");     
return;
out.println(fred);
out.println(jim);The file then contains
HelloWhee !
with a unix line break between the Hello and Whee !
This was not happening untill I ran a file with all unix line breaks through the program. The code did not change. Recompiling made no difference. Now ALL programs that us PrintWriter are doing this.
