The most likely culprit if you are copying =
and pasting code from examples (it may not be the actual problem but the mo=
st likely culprit) is that when you opened the file with fopen or whatever,=
you didn't open it in binary mode, and Windows is translating the \n t=
o \r\n or what have you.

When you use fopen on Win=
dows you need to add a "b" at the end of the "mode" arg=
ument to make sure that Windows opens it in binary mode.

However, this is a well-known problem so if that is not what you fou=
nd on stackoverflow or what have you, it may not be that.
