It seems your file is not a stream file, so changing attributes will not 
help.

You can try the following:
1. Convert the file to a stream-lf file.
2. Set the attributes of the resulting file to stream cr-lf.
3. Convert the file again to a stream-lf file, it will replace all the 
cr-lf record seperators to lf seperators.
4. Convert the file to any filetype you like, with some luck all the 
blank lines will have disappeared.
