This sort of thing happens when you transfer essentially text files
between operating systems. Windows likes to add '\r\n' to the end of
each line, which *nix systems aren't too keen on.
You can get around this a number of ways, firstly opening the file(s)
in question with your favourite *nix editor and then saving them. Or
if you need to convert a number of files you can get a couple of nice
DOS utilities, I personally use 'tounix', and I think you can use grep
to much the same affect.
I've no idea where they are available from now, as it's been a while
since I got hold of them, but it's shareware so if you would like a
copy I'll send it to you.
