Actually it has been created but it might not be able to find the file
still, because of the format of the directory structure.. It might be
from my memory, the CRLF ending.. Remember DOS/Win still uses CRLF,
yet unix just uses CR as the end of line marker.

probably you should edit this with vim, this might be able to save this
properly.
