Fine I never said that AFE didn't do that .. But you have to remember the 
file that you are converting TO Apple ][ format is allready in ][ format 
.. You are making AFE think that the file is in Mac text format (which it 
isn't) and then trying to convert it to ][ format (it was to begin with) 
.. So you see taking a file that is in ][ format and then trying to 
convert it back to ][ format without converting it to Mac inbetween yeilds 
something that neither tha Mac nor the ][ will understand ..
