Your hurry notwithstanding, please post a code fragment that exhibits the 
problem.  What were the statements that you used to open the file and 
write to it?  It is impossible to help you otherwise, because I can right 
now think of an infinite number of possible ways to make a program NOT 
work in the way that you describe.

Most probably, your problem has something to do with a bug in the 
program.  Sun doesn't distinguish between text and binary files, so the 
fact that the program runs there proves nothing.
