[comp.sys.mac] Transfering Binary file to Sun

I was trying to transfer a Binary file ( a MacPaint image file ).  I wanted
to use a PD program "paintraster" and convert a MacPaint file to a Sun Raster 
file.  Very often I found the raster images scrambled.  There was nothing wrong
with the paintraster program. So, I decided to look into the transfered to see
if anything strange happening in the transfer process.  And, I found a 
particular byte ( byte value in hexadecimal = 0D ) was creating the problem:  
somehow, this byte was not there in the file transfered to Sun!?!?  Can someone
tell me what is happening?  I tried the Binary-Data mode on MacKermit, Binary 
and and MacBinary on Versaterm, and the same thing was happening with all of 
them.  I thing in ASCII, 0D is the Carriage Return character.  I cannot 
understand what is happening.
