Looks like the script that uploads the txt files had gone a bit wrong. I
have just fixed it, so either hit  web > "Update files" from
the tray or
open displaylist.txt and event.txt in wordpad and hit save.  The files
should now look correct in notepad, wordpad can handle unix files so
will always look correct. I will add some better download validation to
the next release.
sorry for the mixup
