I'd need more details. When a file is sent in text mode from Unix to
Macintosh, here is what happens: each Unix end-of-line, which is
linefeed, is converted to CRLF (carriage-return+linefeed, the canonical
representation for line-end on the wire); the Macintosh is supposed to
convert these to CR. So the obvious questions are:
1. Do the Unix lines really end with LF?
2. Is the file really being transferred in text mode?
3. What software is receiving the file on the Macintosh?
To address (1) in case these are not normal Unix text files, you can
use the new SET FILE EOL command to tell Kermit how to detect end of line
in the source file.
