And the PutLine does use PutEol which is defined as PutCrLf under Win32 platform.
Keep in mind, while using U++ Eol function, if you do a non-win32 version of your software, it will produce the text files with simple \n only, just your windows version will produce \r\n files.
So text files generated with linux version will be still "broken" in windows Notepad.

And reading this source I also started to realize the C++ probably always does compile "\n" as 13, so when you want MS-DOS line ends, you have to write "\n\r" everywhere...

Can't we just get rid of notepad instead? It's very annoying.
Just as MS codepages vs utf8... This windows thing feels to me like a big stone attached to leg in recent years, and MS keep insisting on the obsolete concepts even with new version, so there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
