UNIX and DOS file formats?

What the differences in UNIX and DOS text files formats?

[RocketJeff]

In MS-DOS (and Windows), text file lines end with both a carrage-return and a new-line (<cr><nl>) characters.

In Unix, text files only have a new-line character at the end.

Thank you for answering.

Does it mean that 1-string text files in DOS and UNIX have just the same format?

Depends on how the file was created. Some editors/utilities automatically put the end-of-line character(s) on the last line of a file (even if it is only a single line).

In this case, the file size will differ by 1 byte at most.
