How does one go about transferring ASCII files between UNIX and the Mac?  It 
seems that when an ASCII file is downloaded from UNIX, the tabs and newlines
get confused in the transfer and the file, once loaded on the Mac, looks quite
strange.  I believe the the download used Versaterm and used the "save stream"
menu item.  I appologize for the lack of details.

Thanks for any ideas...
