- IBM text files have returns followed by linefeeds, so the returns are where
- they should be but every line _except the first_ has a Ctrl-J at the beginning
- (there is probably also a lone extra line at the end with just a Ctrl-J in it).
-
- Those files weren't transferred in text mode properly. If they were, you
- wouldn't be seeing the linefeeds like this.
