 I have been able to download files to our mainframes with no problem using
FTP.  My problem has been in getting them up to my Apple.  The only way I
have to get them is to list them to a screen and capture the buffer. The
downside of this is that there is a carriage return (or maybe it is a line
feed) at the end of each 80col.  This means that all program lines (in an
EXECable file) running over 80col die during EXEC.  The file I am trying
to get will allow me to do direct file transfers but until then...
Any suggestions on how to get rid of those linebreaks?  Appleworks re-inserts
them when writing to an ASCII file on disk.
