The relevant software: zmodem version unknown
                       White Knight 11.06

The problem: When uploading text files with zmodem I lose the line breaks.
             What seems to be happening is that the mac's CR chars are sent up
             as is and not translated to unix NL chars so that I get a file 
             with no line breaks but only "foreign" CR chars at the unix end.

A similar problem would occur in downloading except one can use the filters
and translate NL chars to CR chars and thus line breaks are preserved and 
there are no mystery box characters at the beginning of each line or endless
lines. If I use kermit then it seems to sensibly translate on uploads. Does
anyone know how to get around this problem with zmodem and WK? I have read the
manual but found nothing. There is a RCMD to add NL chars to every CR char but
this is a poor solution as though correct line breaking occurs every line 
includes a CR char at the end. 

The Request: A WK RCMD to convert CRs to NL chars to massage text files 
             OR
             The page number in the WK manual where a method is explained
             OR
             Any other possibly helpful suggestions.

It seems a little odd to me to be able to only filter downloads and not 
uploads. I don't know whether the mainframe zmodem or WK 11.06 is at fault.
Are there more recent versions of zmodem than that at the SUMEX/Stanford 
archive? Is 11.06 the latest and greatest ver of WK which promises to cure 
all problems for evermore?

Thanks in advance for any help
