Bizarre Browser Behavior

This seems to even be true on the Mac if you are using a recent version
of Stuffit Expander -- be _sure_ to set the Cross Platform options to
*never* convert files. Since the line endings in Squeak and the Mac are
the same, this should be no problem, but there still seems to be things
Expander likes to change.

The problem is very likely that when you downloaded the new squeak, something (your browser or decompression software) decided to be helpful and convert the line endings in the .changes file (since it looks like a text file). Most of these programs have a preference that you can set so that this does *not* happen. You want the exact binary file that is on the server, not a window-ized or unix-ized version.
