If you left the files as text until you got them to the //gs, then few
things could go wrong, and those would be:

	binary mode used by FTP, so all returns in the file are actually
line feeds (unix uses linefeeds instead of returns).
	AFE (which is too F*cking slow because it thinks a prodos disk is a bad
quantum) might have used its default translation (it shouldn't) which would
preserve the linefeeds...
	even then, binscii should walk right past them without any problems.

could you describe exactly the method you've been using, and where the problems
show up?
