- I couldn't decide whether to mail this or post it. I finally decided it
- might be useful for someone else, so here it is. Please, no flames.
-
- The remote system (probably Unix-like) is using LF (^J) as a newline.
- DOS programs (most of them) look of CR or CRLF, but not LF. Interestingly,
- one DOS command, "type", understands though.
-
- FTP your file, then type:
- type old-file-name > new-file-name
-
- That should fix it.
