The upload is via an html form so I'm pretty sure it's not ftp (unless there's a
way for this to be automated from a form?). Willy made the original file in
MLCad by the looks of it, I then edited in MLCad and emacs for WinXP, Willy then
further edited the file (in a text editor?) and I tested it in MLCad (suggesting
it was either UNIX or DOS format) and uploaded it.
Very weird.
