My gosh, that's it! I Indeed extracted with WinZip... I WAS a bit
suspicious, and looked in WinZip for an option like "Output text files in
DOS format" or so that I could UNcheck, but having not found it, I thought
WinZip would not be so intrusive as to modify the files that were
compressed...

Well, I never said Win was perfect, did I?  ;-)

That being said, it's still sort of beyond me why all [CR][LF]s would be
converted ok... except the ones I reported.

Many thanks & Merry Christmas,
