Hello,
when I help Windows users create keys then my script converts the
Linux version of gpg.conf (after some editing) to the Windows line
endings. This works.
But if I edit the file with the Windows editor (unfortunately I have
forgotten the Windows version) then gpg crashes with an error message
like "error in gpg.conf:1". I have experienced that several times in
the past already.
Unfortunately I both don't have Windows at home and have forgotten to
make a copy of the damaged file so that I cannot have a look at it.
A wild guess is that the editor adds a UTF-8 BOM at the beginning of
the file (but that wouldn't affect XP, would it?).
Two concerns:
1) Does anyone know what the problem is and/or whether I can avoid it
by using another program which is part of Windows (or widely used)?
2) Would it make sense to make gpg work with such config files...? 8-)
Personally, I use "PSPad" to edit files from different OSs on a Window's
machine. <http://www.pspad.com>. It can save in several different
formats and styles. Plus, it is free.
unix2dos and dos2unix are your friends.

Tristan
