Subject: FTPing ASCII files to ITS

This is probably of interest only to readers on the ITS machines:

Some of the ASCII text files in MICRO: do not appear to have the EOF
^C padding such files are expected to have when read on an ITS
machine.  This is because such files are defaultly and more
efficiently FTP'd in IMAGE mode.  If this is a problem, re-FTP the
file in TEXT mode and the correct padding will be applied in the
process.

(It is probably more technically correct to say that this problem is
more noticable with files that are not close to exact multiples of
1024 PDP-10 words.)
