Sorry I took so long to write back. I see others have encountered and solved the same problem I had. By default when processing tar files, the latest version of WinZIP reads the first 80 characters of the file it is extracting. If the first 80 characters are ASCII, then WinZIP assumes it is a text file and converts all the line feed characters to line feed/carriage returns. This is okay for ASCII files, but it messes up the archive files (,v files) of binary files. In WinZIP, you can disable this by going to Options -> Configuration -> Miscellaneous and unchecking the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option. Thank you very much again for your help.
