Yep, Frank, that's basically what I was thinking; one end (likely
receiving) was in text mode, and the other (likely sending) was in
binary mode. When sending, there were some 13 10 or 10 13 (decimal)
combinations in the file, and the receiving end was dropping out the
13. Or it was just summarily dropping all 13's.
