What method is being used to transport the file from the UNIX box to the Windows box? It should not be a "straight binary" transfer because, as you've noticed, this does not convert from the UNIX end-of-line delimiter to the Windows end-of-line delimiter.
It's a fact that some Windows applications (Wordpad and Notepad++) deal with the UNIX style delimiter as if it had been a Windows style delimiter. And some (Notepad and the default Windows FTP client) do not. But in the end the problem is not really with UNIX or Windows specifically, and it certainly is not with z/OS, but is the method of transporting the file between UNIX and Windows.
