I created several data files on an IBM PC RT. Later on when I transfered
these data files to other computers such as Bondwell PC (using MS DOS)
or a ND-500 computer, the data files turned to a big mess: many lines
become one line. I guess the problem may be due to different RETURN-codes used
by different machines.
Can somebody tell me how to create files on IB PC RT which can be directly
readable on other machines ?

If the files are ascii text you need to specify the '-a' switch to doswrite.
This of course assumes you are running AOS and not AIX. I would assume that
the AIX equivalent of doswrite would have a similar switch for transfering
ascii files.

Yes, AIX RT 2.2.1 has similar switch, and it *works* the same way. As for binaryfiles - it should be even simplier.
