   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?  

I was using QEdit for a while, but got Epsilon instead, and I have
discovered that it is really quite easy to deal with the difference
with those two because they are very quick... I just load in the file
I want to change and make the editor write it out again... takes a
couple seconds...

Perhaps when Phil Katz comes out (if he does) with a unix version of
Zip, he'll make it so that any version will change text files for you
on the fly (while unzipping perhaps) if you request it...
