This has to do with the differing way that UNIX and DOS represent the
end of a line. You can either use unix2dos before you download them to
your PC, or you can open the files on your PC using MS-DOS 'edit'
(which for some reason sees things correctly) and then save them, which
will supply the correct CR/LF pair at the end of each line.
