Sure; any decent file transfer protocol will support text-mode transfers
that preserve line delimiters (using whatever is appropriate on each end).
Failing that, transmission of the file in uninterpreted binary mode would
produce a UNIX file containing ASCII CR delimiters, which can be turned
into the UNIX newline convention's ASCII LF characters using the command:
	tr '\015' '\012' < apple_image > unix_text
