Just thought I'd put in my two cents worth.  Someone suggested that
UNIX uses "Positive" ascii (Hibit set).  First, I thought positive numbers
had their hibit CLEAR.  Secondly, seems to me both the Prodos-based Apple
and UNIX use POSITIVE ascii (hibit clear).  Dos 3.3 uses Hibit set, but
it's no longer supported.

Using the tr utility on UNIX is an elegant solution.

Using awk?  Isnt that overkill?  But what a way to go...!

If you have Davex on your Apple, then why not use the tr utility there?

There is also a (hacker-written) utility that was posted a while back
to comp.binaries.apple2 (text.conv?) which will handle cr to lfs very
nicely.

Of course, all of this is moot if you use BINscii for text-based downloads.
