Mac made text doesn't work for PC

[Smash]

I made a basic txt that won't work for PC version.I have saved it in number of ways including TEXT, but no dice.The game itself works fine just no intro text screen.

What file type do PC people use to save TXT.s?

hehe thats pretty stupid.I mean what program do PC people use to write their texts?

Ok, I am a Mac person, but I also uses PCs.
When I play Civ 2 it is on the Mac so I cannot verify if this works...

Text files on the Mac have lines ending with Carriage-return.
Text files on PCs end with Carriage-return and Line-feed.
Because programs made for the Mac usually take this difference into consideration, it is quite usual for Mac-programs to be able to read PC text files, but not vice versa.
Tex-Edit plus - the best $15 shareware ever - can do the conversion for you. The extra linefeed will appear as as square in your text, same as the text files inside your Civ2:Civ2 files:Support folder. Open them in Tex-edit to see.

Notepad usually works nicely. A program for the PC thats even simpler than Simpletext.
