Well the answer is simple.
You probably opened the file and saved the file in the following manner.
--WARNING --Rough draft code.
include get.e -- I don't think this is needed here.
integer in, out
sequence line

in = open("infile", "r")--Note: "r" or "rb" won't make a difference here.
out = open("outfile", "w")--You saved using "w" not "wb"
if (in = -1) or (out = -1) then
  close(in)
  close(out)
  puts(1, "one of the files failed to open so close both and abort")
  abort(0)
end if

line = gets(in)--reading in as text or binary
while sequence(line) do
  puts(out, line)--writing as text.  Converts from UNIX to DOS text format.
  line = gets(in)--reading in as text or binary
end while

I hope this clears things up a bit.
