Unwanted characters in ASCII files

[Davin Peterson]

These unwanted characters are interpreted as end of line markers when
you upload an ASCII file as a binary file. To avoid these characters in
an ordinary text or html (which may indeed interfer with the browser's
parsing of your code) make sure you select ASCII when using an ftp
program. 
Some ftp utilities will take care of this problem automatically, others
don't (including WS_FTP).

These unwanted characters can be ignored by some editors and not by
others, (eg.. NotePad) making it difficult to detect the problem. This
is not unique to Win95, it is a common problem.
