vim syntax files

I've got vim 6.2:
See below for gory details from vim --version.
I've downloaded the vim-ruby stable files :

rockhsb:/usr/share/vim/vim62 # tar zxvf
~graham/downloads/languages/vim-ruby-stable-2003-08-09.tar.gz
compiler/ruby.vim
ftplugin/ruby.vim
indent/ruby.vim
syntax/ruby.vim


But now when I run gvim, I get various problems:
Error detected while processing /usr/share/vim/vim62/syntax/ruby.vim:
line18:
E492: Not an editor command ^M
line 21:
E15: Invalid expression version < 600 ^M


It looks like the file is a dos file (CR/LF at EOL, instead of just LF), but
when I fix this, I lose the colour highlighting.


BTW, Someone (sorry, I forget who) pointed me at these files saying that I
could use %, but I think he missed my point, which was to be able to press
% on an if , and have vi move to teh corresponding end, rather than simply
jump to the next [ or (, which is not especially useful, IMNSHO. Have I
merely cocked it up, and these files should do this?
Thanks
Graham Nicholls
