This is WRONG. When the afpd recognizes the file as binary (with it's
filetype), then it will be treated as binary.
The true way to test:
Copy a GIF or a JPEG onto the suspect netatalk machine. Delete the entry
in .AppleDouble and remove .gif or .jpg extensions from the filename (in
case you have corresponding entries in your AppleVolumes*). Then copy
back the file to your harddisk or try to open it (with Graphicconverter
e.g.). If it looks scrambled, you'll have to remove -DCRLF from the
defines in etc/apfd/Makefile. make it new and install (you'll have to
shut down afpd before).
Afpd can no more recognize this File as binary, 'cause it has no way to
determine (no .AppleDouble entry, no entry in AppleVolumes*) . So it
defaults to text, one thing I'd be happy to see it changed to binary in
futher releases. ;-)
