If the intended target audience is for Windows users, I would actually
change all the files to DOS format. There's many, many ways you can do
this. I happen to use a nice program called "flip" (which is
apt-gettable). You use it thus:
flip -m *.txt
Which will convert all .txt files to msdos CR/LFs.
That way, when they're burnt to CD, it'll all be Just Fine (tm). :)
