The easiest way to convert the Atari EOL character to UNIX EOL is to upload the
the ATASCII file to your UNIX account and then use the UNIX translate command:

tr "\233" "\12" < uploaded_filename > your_choice_filename

Note that the 233 is the 'OCTAL' representation for the ATARI EOL 'DECIMAL'
155 and the 12 is the 'OCTAL' representation for the ASCII 'DECIMAL' 10.

Your_choice_filename will have the UNIX (ASCII) EOL characters.

Exchange the '12' and the '233' in the above command to convert from ASCII
(UNIX) end-of-line character to the ATASCII EOL and then download to your
ATASCII machine.
