You should always specify your oracle version when asking a question.

utl_file.fclose does add a newline as an act of flushing the buffer output.

In 10g, you have an option of creating binary file (add "b" to the open mode
option) and use utl_file.put_raw instead of utl_file.put

If you are on 9i ... I don't think you have any other option other than process it on the OS side.
