Since anybody can post anything into a wiki, any information contained therein should be taken with a huge grain of salt. AIX is a UNIX system, not a mainframe system, as claimed in the link. It uses ASCII, not EBCDIC. You can move text files directly between AIX and any other UNIX without problems. Besides, binary files like databases should - as pointed out by many other posters - be moved with binary mode, which means that the line terminator issue is not a factor. We need to hear back from the OP as to whether binary mode was used and what was meant by "converting the files for Linux use". Then we can get closer to a solution.
