Are you trying to convert the line endings from the Mac standard to the Unix standard (which is different than the Windows standard). My remembrance is that Mac files end in RETURN (ctrl-M) while Unix files end in LINE FEED (ctrl-L) and Windows has both. Anyway, if you are trying to convert Mac text files (like perl) to a Unix text files, just use FTP from the Mac to the Unix system in TEXT mode, not BINARY mode. Chad
