If you send them from a Microsoft system to Unix or Mac, the changes are irreversible because every occurence of LF or CR character in the binary data could originally be either this single character or a CR,LF sequence. So the data is too short and you don't know where to add the missing bytes. Sending between systems that use the same line-ends unfortunately works often enough to convince people it works generally... > Maybe Gwyddion's nanoscope file loader could recognize files which > have had their line endings changed, and instruct the user not to let > that happen?
