You do have programs that convert files from MS-DOS/Windows format to Unix. Check dos2unix on Solaris and dos2ux on HP. However, those are meant to work on ascii files transferred from Dos/Win env to Unix - I dont think that they will be of any help to you with zipped files.
You can of course try using the utilities - best of luck!

DISTRIBUTIONS(5) InterNetNews Documentation DISTRIBUTIONS(5)
NAME
distributions - Recommended values for the Distribution: header
DESCRIPTION
The file pathetc/distributions contains a list of relevant distributions and their descriptions. It provides local information for posters
who wish to add a Distribution: header to their articles so as to restrict their propagation, although it does not guarantee that such
articles will not leak elsewhere because of a misconfiguration of a news server to which they are fed. See newsfeeds(5) for more
information about how a news server handles the Distribution: header.
Each line of this file consists of a distribution area followed by its description (encoded in UTF-8) after at least a whitespace. For
instance:
fr Local to France.
local Local to this news server.
nj Local to New Jersey.
usa Local to the United States of America.
Blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign ("#") are ignored.
Any client that issues the LIST DISTRIBUTIONS command obtain these recommended values, if available. However, be aware that use of the
LIST DISTRIBUTIONS command is not widespread and most news clients will never ask for this file.
If this file is empty, it is not an error. The server will just send the client an empty response. And if the file is missing, the server
will also send the client an appropriate response to indicate that the distributions list is not maintained on the server.
The Distribution: header can also be automatically set by nnrpd if distrib.pats(5) is correctly configured.
