Unix line endings is a Line Feed character (ASCII code 10). Windows line 
endings consist of a Carriage Return character (ASCII code 13) followed by a 
Line Feed character (ASCII 10). For completeness, Mac line endings are a single 
Carriage Return character (ASCII 13).

You're in luck, PN can automatically detect which line endings are used in a 
file and properly display the text file in the editor (I do it all the time). 
If you want to change the line endings, go to Tools > Line Endings and you'll 
get a menu. It's pretty painless and self-explanatory. If you actually want to 
see the line endings (which is pretty instructive) go to View > Line End 
Markers (the menu item is a toggle).

As an aside, if you're ever viewing Makefiles and you want to make sure that 
you have Tabs in the right place go to View > Mark Whitespace. You can then 
visually see what is a space and what's a tab.
