The reason they look like garbage is because linux or unix files don't have cr/lf pairs like DOS files do; they just have lf to end the line. What I do myself, is to import the file into my bns, search for control j, and replace every instance of that with control m control j. Then, either I would read the file in the bns, or upload it back to the PC. Since I got tired of doing this, and since I couldn't find a conversion program for it on the net, I'm in the process of writing a program to convert between DOS, unix and MAC files.
