File Generation Differences between Windows Vista and Linux

File Generation Differences between Windows Vista and Linux

I know that there are differences between Linux and Vista. I know that there are address issues from converting certain files between the two operating systems as well. I am currently working on a program that generates .ppm files in windows. Since the language the generator is written in is Java, and since java is platform independent, will my program run the same way in linux/windows/osx?

"the only difference is the line-ending. if you read the specs of ppm

http://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/ppm.html

you will notice, that

""All characters referred to herein are encoded in ASCII. ""newline""
refers the the character known in ASCII as Line Feed or LF. A ""white space""
character is space, CR, LF, TAB, VT, or FF (I.e. what the ANSI standard C
isspace() function calls white space).""

in other words: it does not matter for your program"
