Re: RE: Unix file to PC, weird LF-CR

If you have some flavor of Basic available (including QBasic or Excel
macro language), you might also be able open the file with it and then
loop through the data looking for the LFs and outputting to a new file.
Depending on what the file looks like this isn't always possible, but I've
done it a number of times and when it works it's great.

I'll be happy to provide more info if you like. . . .
