It shouldn't be necessary to do any conversion.  Atari and MeSs-DOS
both use straight ASCII characters with lines terminated by a CR-LF
combination.

But if, for example, you created your file on the Atari with First
Word Plus in word processing mode, that's a different question
completely: how to convert First Word Plus documents to ASCII?  Is
this your problem or did the above paragraph answer the question?
