Hello NeXT'ers:

I now have a NeXT at work, replacing my own Mac IIsi, and I've
run into a bit of a problem translating files from the NeXT to
the Mac. Here's what I do: I create a DOS disk on the NeXT, copy
some normal text files over to it, and then translate them to
the Mac using the Apple File Exchange on the Mac. I end up with
text all right, but it completely screws up the end of lines, and
inserts "box" characters ([]). This is the result for any of the
DOS to Mac settings in Apple File Exchange. Does anybody know what
is going on and how to fix it? Thanks ahead of time.

PS - the NeXT is running 3.0
