I'm pretty sure this works regardless of the system. What might change is 
the way that a line is terminated: MS Windows by default uses a CR/LF 
('\r\n') pair, while most other systems just an LF ('\n').

I'd adapt the code to accept either line ending on either system.

If that's not what you want, you should improve your "doesn't work" 
description. ;)
