Hi, an elementary question most likely, but...
Even if we do get ZIP for Unix, don't we still have the same problem
of Unix using <LF> for end-of-line, while DOS uses <LF>-<CR>, so that 
if we download ZIPped text files to our PC's, we still have to run
them through things like WordPerfect's text save to get the <CR>'s?
Of course, a short program would work, I suppose, but maybe the inclusion
of some kind of DOS option in the upcoming ZIP would solve this thing
most gracefully?  
Sorry if I am missing something obvious here...
jy, yee@seas.ucla.edu
