 "Recently I copied these files onto floppies and tried to load them into
the 1108 ..."

 "Our fileserver uses ^J (Ascii 10) as a newline, so that is what appears
on the floppy ..."

These two should not follow.  COPYFILE of a text file should do EOL
conversion, and FLOPPY's EOL convention is CR (^M).  I'd guess that the
problem is that COPYFILE for thought the file was a binary because it
couldn't find its extension on TCPFTP.DEFALT.FILETYPES, and
TCP.DEFAULTFILETYPE is set to BINARY.  Add an entry to the former, or set
the latter to TEXT, and try copying the files to floppy again.
