Tomcat source archive corrupt?

["Cole, Corey (AZ75)" <Co...@honeywell.com>]

I'm seeing a strange issue, and I believe that the problem is that
your webserver is hosting corrupt files.  If I download the 3.2.3 source
_zip_ file (the gzipped tar file is okay) and try to open the MS Dev Studio
project file, MS Dev pukes.  Actually, version 6 silently fails, but VC 7
(aka VS.NET)
warns that the .dsp file is corrupt.

It doesn't matter if I use WinZip or the Java 'jar' tool to unzip the
archive.
This happens on 3 different OSes (NT 4, Win2k, and WinXP).

The workaround is to download the gzipped tar file and use that as the
source
of the source as it were.

Most likely it's a line ending issue. Visual Studio can't handle
.dsp/.dsw files with Unix line endings -- you can fix it by editing the
file in a proper text editor and changing the line endings.
