Yup, and Unix users have the ability to choose line endings:
Emacs -
M-x set-buffer-file-coding-system RET undecided-dos

VI - 
: Set fileformat = dos : W 

If you are using anything else, a: don't or b: 

tr -d '\r' < input.file > output.file

or 

perl -pi -e 's/\r\n/\n/g' input.file

or 

sed 's/$'"/`echo \\\r`/" input.txt > output.txt

or…. 

W
