May I point out that your Subject line is misleading. If you just wanted
to change things in a file, a simple sed script would do the trick.

It seems that you need to change lf to cr/lf << when transmitting a file
to another machine >>.

If you have Compuserve access, grab XCMALT from LIB 5 of the TANGENT
Forum.

If you don't. E-mail me and I will send you the source.

XCMALT has an option to do the translation you ask for when transmitting
files. It will also perform put and take operations, or transfers using
xmodem or CompuServe B-Protocol. It can use scripts to automate logins
to foreign systems. It can also capture your remote session to a file.
