Program looks fine. As it did run on Unix you have probably downloaded it. Download is ascii not binary (there should be an option for that).
In binary mode it will define records as "lf" in ascii mode as "cr lf". Notepad wordpad do not recognize the "lf"convention. notepad++ ia able to help you and inform about used conventions.
