   I'm pretty sure your editor in XP ends a text file with 0D 0A.  To take that   
   out, use debug.  Just use "debug test.txt" to edit the file test.txt.  Then   
   hit the "r" key to show the registers.  CX will contain the length of the   
   file (BX:CX if its bigger than 16 bits).  Just change CX to be 1 less ("rcx"   
   prompts for a new value for CX) then write the file (with a "w") and it   
   should be fine.  By lessening the file size by 1 byte you effectively cut   
   off   
   that trailing 0A
