Try some other transfer protocol instead of Xmodem.  Xmodem adds (I seem
to recall) NULL bytes at the end of the file to pad it out to 128 or 256
byte blocks, or some such.  This doesn't matter to MSDOS, but makes
AmigaDos ill.  There are also a zillion of utilities floating around
that could chop those NULLS of for you.  I think they are called FIXHUNK, or
some such.
