Well from your two reports it sounds very much like the files are uploading and
downloading correctly. I guess we write the RACHAL one off as a strange quirk
and I'll use NoteTab to ensure all future ones are DOS formatted before upload
and hope for the best.
The only real possibilities I can see for error are 1) that emacs has somehow
detected the file wrong at some point and switched to Unix mode or 2) that the
upload proccess has switched it to UNIX format.
