If you have \n on its own in Access or Excel you get a new line within a
cell.
Also if you only have \n all the way through the file, then you
effectively have one huge record which can't be loaded into memory (size
dependent);
\r\n is required in windows to indicate the end of a line.
\n only for linux, and I think macos is something else again, but I've
never developed on a mac before so I can't confirm.
This is a widely discussed topic on the internet and not difficult to
find answers on.

Are you sure about that?
I thought Windows used \r\n as a pair (or \n\r?) for the line delimiter.
But then, I don't do Windows anymore, so I could be wrong :-)
