Pete Ashdown seems to have hit the cause of the problem on the nose. The
Amiga comm program will not recongize a MacBinary header, so saves the
MacBinary file image to disk as is. The file remains a MacBinary image
once it reaches his Mac. The link from DOS to Mac obviously does not
recongize MacBinary formatted files either.

So, what Pete needs is a utility called BinHex 4.0, but not 5.0. What
BinHex 4.0 does is convert Mac files from MacBinary format to their
original format, and vice versa.
