Chuck, the man page for sb makes no mention that Unix new lines will
NOT be converted when downloading ascii files.  rb apparently has no
provisions for stripping CRs on uploads.  This is probably due to the
fact that if batch up/downloads are done, a global convert is
undesirable since binary and ascii files MAY be mixed.

Some mention should be made of utilities such as "unixcpm" and
"cpmunix" to handle such files.

sb's attempt to restore the tty after the transfer (i.e., un-do the
raw) results in a lock-up condition on BRL Unix 4.2 BSD.  This MAY be
due to the fact that I'm accessing BRL through a TAC.  I had to reset
the connection and log in again.
