X-no-Archive:yes
I have found that WordPad / Write works fine with simple bytestream files
shared via SAMBA.

For the files we archive, we also produce STORE listings that the PC
community can access. These backup jobs run tobyte against their STORE
listings, and produce a file with a LIST extension, which these users
associate with WordPad. If they need data from a given date, then can find
or findstr against the STORE listings and find the job that stored the files
they need restored (or, just as often, they send me the date, and I run
findstr...).

I wish I had seen this earlier.

As you already noticed, some PC programs can also cope with files
that only have LF delimited lines, while others cannot. So, if you
create files on the 3000 that are to be accessed by PC users via
Samba/iX or similar means, you might want to make sure to create
those files with lines ending in CR (the LF is already there) or
else convert them when copying to a Samba-accessible directory. It
might be possible with something similar to...

 :xeq /bin/awk " '{print $0 ""\r""}' infile > outfile "

Notice that above command is from memory, so might be imperfect.
