If the file you vuisit existed before and had Unix-style single
newline characters at the end of each line, Emacs running on W2K
ought to preserve the end-of-line format.  If it doesn't, something
must be wrong with your customizations; try "emacs -q" and see if
that makes the problem go away.

If the problem is that you want new files you create on W2K to have
Unix-style end-of-line format, see the node "Text and Binary" in the
Emacs manual which describes the untranslated filesystem facility that
will help you.  For a single file, "C-x RET f unix RET C-x C-s" will
save the file in Unix EOL format.
