Maybe the Parts Tracker is messed up then.
A carriage return character is ASCII code 13, and a line feed is ASCII code
10. This goes back to the old days with printer control codes (AFAIK). In
DOS text files all lines are terminated by ASCII 10 followed by ASCII 13,
but in Unix (and I believe Mac) text files the norm is to use just the ASCII
10 for line termination. It's possible that your browser is taking the parts
files and converting the 10 + 13 terminators into just 10s (I'm pretty sure
older Netscape browsers did this a lot), and the script on the server that
is accepting the file doesn't have any logic to automatically replace any
ASCII 10 not followed by ASCII 13 with the DOS style terminator.
