I don't know how you're downloading files from that UNIX system to your
Apple, but it is not a problem with UNIX per se but rather with your
specific download procedure.  In any case, if you have a IIGS there is
a freeware program available called "FIXER" (I forget its author, but
I do recall that he was somebody quite well known) that is specifically
designed to clean up text files, including fixing line delimiters.  Look
for it on one of the information services.
