even better - get an FTP program that does the line-ending conversions for
you on the fly .. most GUI FTP programs will do this these days .. and
they'll usually allow you to configure them to do this ASCII conversion on a
series of filename extensions .. sure makes life easy
alternatively - the latest (in fact for quite some time) versions of vim
(http://www.vim.org/) will indicate the 'DOS'ness of a file on a *nix system
by putting (dos) on the status line
conversely they indicate the 'UNIX'ness of a file on a DOS system by putting
(unix) on the status line
the conversion is then a matter of setting (or unsetting) the textmode
variable in vim .. a set textmode variable indicates to vim that the file
has CRLF line-endings .. notextmode indicates simply LFs
