This problem is supposed to be addressed by providing two
different tarballs:
- .tar.gz with Unix line ends (LF)
- .zip with Windows line ends (CRLF).

It is now made clear in the INSTALL file.

The project files included in the latest source tarball (fxscintilla-1.49) are not usable under Microsoft Visual C++ as-is because they don't have DOS-style line endings. (We ran into the same problem when we originally added similar files to the FOX distribution.) Even though they are ASCII, human-readable files, they must end with DOS-style CRLF line endings instead of the standard Unix line endings.

The solution involves these steps:

1. Check out the code somewhere;
2. For each of the affected files (.dsw and .dsp) run a utility like "unix2dos" to convert the Unix-style line endings into DOS-style line endings;
3. Add or update those files back into CVS using the "-kb" switch to cvs; this tells it to preserve the file as binary and not drop the line endings.
4. Commit it back.

The final test is to make a source tarball (as if for a real drop) and go back and check the contents of those files; make sure the lines end with CRLF and not just LF.
