Assuming that the files are truly stored with the CRLF endings (as
distinct from Jonothan Farr's hypothesis that they have all been
canonicalized to end in LF), you need to get LocalFS to 'open()' the
batch files in binary mode, e.g.,

   if string.lower( filename[:-4] ) == '.bat':
      return open( filename, 'b' )
   else:
      return open( filename )
