 I use Windows to do most of my text editing, and my question is: how much 
of
 an issue is this for you Linux people?

 If it is, could you suggest a simple conversion utility, that changes
 Windows to Linux line endings?

Re: malformed OurMusic bundle

What editor do you use to edit source code?  I do lots of development
on Windows too, but haven't had this problem.

As Wade says, I find that a lot of "modern" Windows text editors  
(Notepad not being one of them!) seem to be able to handle unix, dos  
or Mac-style line endings OK, and that many programming editors have  
an explicit option for setting your preferred line-ending style when  
you save a file, so that may be an easy option.

That said, I'd hazard that the "canonical" answer to Art's question  
is probably "dos2unix" which many linux distros have, and which I  
think also exists in win32 compatible forms....

I've used zip/unzip (the linux version of it, i.e. InfoZIP) for this in 
the past. Take a look at options -l and -ll for zip (probably what you 
need as you want to ship a bundle), resp. -a for unzip (which is what I 
used as I needed the individual files).
