Bob,
You need to give it the /B switch (aread file file /B or awrite file
file /B) so it's a binary transfer. Otherwise the programs presume it's a
transfer of an ASCII file and converts Amiga line feeds (LF) to MS-DOS carriage
return/line feed pairs (CR/LF). Also, in ASCII mode, the MS-DOS side presumes
a char(26) [control-Z] means 'end of file' since MS-DOS uses that as the
end-of-file marker.
In binary mode…it simply transfers everything unchanged.
