Hi, I seem to be encountering a problem with the end of line character
translation.

I first noticed this when I used the server I have set up to transfer
some gif's from my boss. He created them on his windoze box, then
placed them in a shared directory hosted by a Mac appletalk server.
>From there I moved them to my own netatalk server, clicking and
dragging with a mac... At this point I went to open an image, and, lo
and behold, corruption!

I spent some time digging around in various docs, and examining the
files with vi, and noticed that it is translating ^M's into \n's.
This does not make the gifs look very pretty:-> So I went to change
AppleVolumes.system in /etc/netatalk, and I restarted the server
(first I tried hupping it twice, to no effect), after having edited it
to the following:

. BINA UNIX
# . TEXT UNIX

....
.gif GIFf JVWR

It is still doing the translation.. is there something I am missing?
I would rather it did no translation than having it do it badly and
screw things up.

Thanks for your time,
