I believe the problem is slightly different.  Mac's style of
end-of-line (EOL) is a single CR character.  DJGPP code needs either a
single newline (aka LF) or the CR-LF pair; it doesn't support
Mac-style CR-only EOL.

Your mistake was that you used text-mode transfer to copy files
to the Mac, or edited the files on the Mac before moving them to the
PC.  You should have copied the original ZIP files in binary mode to
the PC, and unzip them on the PC.
