The problem is that you are transferring data to a UNIX system from a non-UNIX system. The transfer software will do its best to make this a painless task by translating your carriage returns to new-lines. This poses a problem with raw data, though. Most likely, it is NOT the Mac-end software that is causing you trouble, but the UNIX end software. For example, if you are using macget on the UNIX end, with the -u option, it will do the translation (oops). If you use the -d option, no translation will be done. Another option is to write a Mac-end program that takes a file and converts it to an ascii readable version, then you need a UNIX end program to untranslate it. BinHex and xbin for the Mac and UNIX respectively will fit the bill. Steve Hawley sdh@bellcore.com hawley@oberlin.edu
