   In the distribution of CC65 there is a set of utilities for converting files
between ASCII and ATASCII. I believe that the ATASCII -> ASCII program inserts
CR-LF pairs, so on the Unix machine you will have to remove the CR's. vi does
this nicely: ":%s/^V^M//g" You can get CC65 from terminator.cc.umich.edu. Look
for the conversion programs in ~ftp/atari/8bit/cc65/utils.arc .
