Hi everyone,
I just got back.
That is odd that it would say DOS format... I do not have a computer
with windows on it at all (I think I have a VM somewhere).  The computer
I wrote it on is an old Mac, so it is extremely surprising that it would
have DOS format.... that doesn't make sense to me.  The Unix end of line
char is '\n' whereas Windows is '\r\n' (As far as i remember)  I do not
think I accidentally added a carriage return to the file... but then
again, I have been working on so many different things.
I have worked on icons, and splash screens and packaging, and some C++
and also a few scripts (including this one) in the past few days... so
there is a possibility I did something really weird... but I am
completely unaware of this.

I wonder if sending it via thunderbird has somehow changed the file? 
This is a strange mystery.
I do think that this issue will NOT effect the packaged version... but I
will check the file for '\r' later...
