  15. The problem Timo found only occurs with the -l (that's an "ell") option
  16. of zip for end-o-line conversion before zipping.  So if you don't use -l,
  17. there's no problem.
  18.  
  19. A fix for that -l and another -l problem is forthcoming.  In any case,
  20. you can also do end of line conversion with unzip, and that's been working
  21. since the last release.
