You absolutely have to use a text editor which can
save files with Unix format (so don't use Notepad
nor Wordpad). There are a number of editors
freely available that can be used.
VIM (Vi IMproved) is available from
http://www.vim.org/. This editor has the very
handy ability to easily read and write files in
either DOS or UNIX style.
GNU Emacs is available for many platforms
including MS-Windows. The official homepage
is http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs.html.
The GNU Emacs on Windows NT and Windows 95/98 FAQ is
at http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html.
PFE (Programmers File Editor) may be downloaded
from http://www.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/win95/editor/pfe101i.zip. Note this
editor is no longer actively supported.
