Which files specifically?  Shouldn't CVS take care of this?  Or, if 
you're unpacking one of the Zip files doesn't your zip program have 
an option for converting these?

DOS/Windows can have problems with Unix style line endings.  It just 
all depends on the program that's using the file.  In any event, I 
really thought this was an issue that was supposed to be addressed by 
CVS and the tool used to unpack zip packages?
