Did you use Bput to upload it ?
And then Bget to download it?
To be sure that all uploads are done "exactly as-is".... use "Bput"
(or switch to binary mode (with bin<enter>), before doing an Mput)
And then be sure to do all downloads with Bget.
See the diff....

The 60 line file got 60 CRs added to it by doing an "ASCII get"
instead of a "Binary get".
I'll now do an "ASCII put" and then a "Binary get"

The 60 CRs were "stripped-out" when I did the "ASCII put".
So, the other method is to do "ASCII put/ASCII get"
But.... this only works if you know for sure that ASCII put was used.
AFAIK,
BPUT/BGET works every time.
(with the possible exception of CGI scripts)
FWIW,
All files in /oldbuild and /changes/glennmcc
were uploaded while in Binary mode.
So.... D/L them in Binary mode to be sure that no CRs get added.
