I am not sure what you mean. A UNIX text file IS a plain text doc in WINDOWS. If you want to format it, wait until you open it with MS WORD and format then.
I am sure there is a way to format it beforehand, but it slips my mind just now.
However, you can just email the file to your PC from the unix box. or use ftp with the ascii setting and you should have NO problems!
Kelam, if you create a text file in Windows with Wordpad, or (guffaw) DOS EDIT, instead of having a "\n" (newline) at the end of each line, you will get a "\n\r" (newline, carriage return).
That's what the dos2unix/unix2dos utilities mainly correct.
