Since you have found it to look like an EXEC file, I would suspect that
in it's journey to you Apple its CRs have acquired LFs.  If that's the case,
there are a number of LF strippers that you could use.

In fact, ISTR that CrossWorks will strip LF from .txt files fransferred
from PC to Apple.  Maybe you should just change its extension to
.txt on the PC and transfer it again.
