transfering ASCII files?

When the world was young, Jose_Dorado at mail.amsinc.com carved some 
runes like this:

Here is a repost from the last time this question was asked:

I don't think samba will ever do it automatically; to be reliable, 
it should be done explicitly by the user.

One option would be not to use notepad ;-}  There are much better 
alternatives:

Get PFE and set unix mode when you save the file (or you could use 
ntemacs or gvim for win32 - all are free).

Most commercial editors should handle multiple EOL conventions as 
well (ie, SlickEdit, Brief, etc).  There's a drag-n-drop win32 
converter mentioned in Hints.txt, but I haven't gotten it to work.  
You can bug him yourself if you like:

I just finished my first C class (yahoo!) and I was thinking of 
doing just such a converter; a console version first, then a win32 
GUI version (Jim, if you're still around I wouldn't mind taking a 
look at your source code ;-)

Hope this helps, Steve

PS. I still haven't started any coding (other projects, kids, fun, 
etc); if anyone wants to help, feel free to chime in.
