Understood, the Ported Tools Users Guide is the document that was sent
to me in defense of this issue.  What is confusing is, every other
implementation of scp is the opposite; scp uses binary. In fact, in
Solaris anyway, we dont even HAVE an option to specify text or binary.
It's always binary.

I wonder if there is any explanation as to why IBM choose to do the
opposite of everyone else?
