Mac OS X to Win XP Text Format
Having trouble installing Oxygen? Got a bug to report? Post it all here.
Hi,
The encoding for XML files is very clearly specified. For non xml files (as in your case) oXygen uses a user configurable encoding. By default on Mac that is set to MacRoman. You can change it from Oxygen->Preferences dialog using the Encoding for non XML files entry in the Global tab. I guess that changing that to UTF-8 for instance will solve your problem.
Best Regards,
George

Thanks, george, but I was speaking of converting from the unix style strings (terminated with the nl character 0x0a) to 'dos' style strings (terminated with cr/lf - i.e., 0x0d/0x0a).
When I use notepad at work to read an iMav/Oxygen produced text file, the text is readable, but all of the new-line formatting is lost. Interestingly, CodeWright handles the files just fine. Unfortunately, I'm dealing with html homework and my instructor uses notepad exclusively.

This really has nothing to do with oXygen directly.
As you noted, it is a mismatch between how each OS handles new lines.
Here's a simple Mac version of the [unix|dos]2[unix|dos] utilities that are pretty standard. Apple should probably add this to the Darwin portion of OS X.

I'm sure there are also Windows versions of the same utilities.
