Thank you for signalling the problem: plain text files included in
xep_272_eval_msjvm.zip indeed have Unix-style linefeeds. We will correct it in
forthcoming versions of the evaluation package for Microsoft Java VM.
Unfortunately, we cannot do it for xep_272_eval_sunjvm.zip because this version
must be usable not only on Win32 but also on Unix/Linux.

Anyhow, 0A linefeeds are treated correctly by virtually all text processors
except for Notepad. As a workaround, I suggest opening readme.txt in MS Word or
Wordpad. Sending it to the console ( C:\> type readme.txt | more ) will also
produce correct results.

By the way: there is no such thing as "Windows eval" - the other evaluation
package also works well in Windows environment. The difference is in the setup
code only: the version made for Sun Java is much easier to install. If you don't
have serious reasons to use MSJVM, I recommend using Sun JRE version
(xep_272_eval_sunjvm.zip).

Best regards,
