[Coco] Needed Rainbow Magazines

[Tim Fadden]

I think you are referring to using command line ftp.  I have seen this.  
What I discovered is that the dos ftp defaulted to ascii mode, and the 
nix's defaulted to binary (or visa-versa its been a while!) and they 
didn't automatically talk to each other of figure out what the file 
really was.  So....  to make sure you didn't get corrupted files, all 
that needed to be done is specify binary or ascii before you started the 
up/download, and all was fine.  This may still be the case.
