Actually, it is NOT "\n" in Windows. The OS actually
converts text files to represent end-of-line as "\r\n" (CR-LF) when
stored to disk. UNIX however has no such "oddities".
UNIX text files use "\n" to represent end-of-line.
Actually, to UNIX, there is no difference between a binary
or a text file when stored on disk.
If you are using some sort of Windows to UNIX FTP program,
usually selecting "text" file format will do the conversion
for you. Some editors will also do this conversion for you.

NAME
cpmcp - copy files from and to CP/M disks SYNOPSIS
cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image user:file ... directory cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file user:file cpmcp [-f format] [-p] [-t] image file ... user: DESCRIPTION
cpmcp copies one or more files to or from a CP/M disk. When copying multiple files, the last argument must be a drive or directory. The drive letter does not matter because the device is specified by the image, it is only used to specify which direction you want to copy. The user number is specified after the drive letter, if omitted user 0 is used. You can use * and ? in CP/M file names, which have the same meaning in sh(1) file name patterns. OPTIONS
-f format Use the given CP/M disk format instead of the default format. -p Preserve time stamps when copying files from CP/M to UNIX (not implemented for copying the other way so far). -t Convert text files between CP/M and UNIX conventions. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, exit code 0 is returned. ERRORS
Any errors are indicated by exit code 1. FILES
