My solution set is:
a. from DOS to MAC, I use MacSink on the Macintosh. Here I will strip
the [] from the beginning of each line using the Convert/Strip Controls
menu item.
b. from Mac to DOS, I use an EMACS style editor such as Jove, MicroEmacs,
or my old FinalWord II. FWII has a Convert-to-Ascii command and a
Convert-to-FWII as well as the ability to insert the ^J.
Or snap it over to a Unix system using Kermit.
Good luck,
Steve
