Oops, that should have read, "so that binary values that happen to match CR/LF
got
changed to be just LF."  It's been a long day.  :-)

I suppose it's possible that this is a binary file, and that it was originally
transferred in ASCII mode, so that binary values that happen to match CR/LF got
changed to be just CR.  Then sending it to the 987 and back would be putting the
CR characters back.  It would be quite a coincidence, though, if the ONLY place
that the LF characters appear in a non-text file is in a CR/LF combination.  I'd
expect both values to appear separately as well as (possibly) in combination in
a binary file, in which case FTP wouldn't know where to put the CR characters
when it added them back, and the file would still be corrupted.
