Usually this is a result of the wrong end-of-line characters being used,
depending on what the output device expects.
In UNIX, end-of-line is just a line-feed, in MS-DOS/Windows end-of-line is
a carriage-return line-feed pair.
You may need to change the end-of-line characters to suit your needs and
output device.
