I have had exactly the same problem using RR 9.2 and Genix 4.1, and I've
been using the same workarounds, except that if you do transfer a file
to the mac without using the filter first, all that happens to you is that
you get a little box (the linefeed) at the start of each line (after the
first).  These can be "changed" to nulls in one "change all" operation,
simply by cutting one of them and pasting it into the "change string" field
of the "change" dialog box.
