What you are seeing is the result of moving a text file from a dos (windows) platform to a nix platform without proper translation.  In dos, two characters are used to indicate end-of-line.  they are the control characters for Carraige Return and Line Feed (x'13' and x'10').  In nix, only one character. I can't remember if it is the x'13' or the x'10'. Normally, when a file is copied from one platform to another, the copy utility will recognize this and make the proper modification to the file. However, if you ftp the file in binary mode, no translation occurs. Of course, you can ftp in text (ascii) mode only if it is a text file to begin with, so you can't do this with a zip file.
As already given, there are ways to use vi substitution commands to fix it after the fact. You can also use the utility 'dos2unix' to fix the file after it has landed on the *nix platform. (the actual name of the file may be a variant on the theme of 'dos2unix'.  You may have to google a bit to find it on your OS).
