There are several ways.  For one, use "tr" to change all the line feeds
to carriage returns before sending the document.  Reverse this, of course,
when sending from the Mac to Unix.  The preferred way of doing business,
however, is to use macput and macget.  These provide for "Unix mode"
transfers of text, which takes care of this transformation automatically.
