I have been trying to download some files from  a Un*x machine
and apparently what arrives doesn't have carriage returns.  Can 
anyone send me a program to convert from Un*x to ST text format,
either to run on the ST or the host?

Thanks in advance

While I don't have an ST, you may want to check what the value of a
carriage return is on the ST, then use the UNIX 'tr' command to translate
a UNIX CR ('^J' or 012 octal) to the ST CR (lets say it's '^M' or 015 octal).
So on UNIX issue the command:

	tr "\012" "\015" <Unix_file >ST_file

this will change the '^J' to '^M' in the Unix_file and put the result in the
ST_file, which can then be downloaded.  This is what I do to download UNIX
files to my Atari 8-bitter (CR=233 octal).

One of the annoying things about UNIX (compared to SENSIBLE operating
systems) is that "line feed" is the end of line marker.  Your best
bet is to write a filter under UNIX to replace '\n' with "\0x0d\n" in
the file you are downloading.

Hmm.., why didn't you recommend he do it at the other end since it is 
obviously more "SENSIBLE"...
