How are you transferring the files back and forth? If you are using ftp
then you need to make sure that you are transferring files in binary
mode. If you use rcp, the Windows version has a ``-b'' option to force
binary mode. If you don't use it then Windows will try to be clever
and do a DOS-to-UNIX, or UNIX-to-DOS, EOL translation. This screws up
binary files as it changes *all* occurrences of LF (ASCII 10) to CRLF
(ASCII 10 & 13).
