If you are having problems with CR-LF conversion, then it means you are uploading your text files in binary mode (shame shame). Besides, it is easy to convert those characters on the unix system: alias lf2cr "cat \!^ | tr '\012' '\015' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^; mv \!^.X \!^" alias cr2lf "cat \!^ | tr '\015' '\012' > \!^.X ; rm -f \!^; mv \!^.X \!^" add these two lines to your .cshrc (unless you use a Bourne compatible shell, in which case get a local guru to help you translate) and use: cr2lf file to convert "file" from apple to unix format, and lf2cr file to convert "file" from unix to apple format.
