title: How can I copy a file from VMS to Windows and back again?
body: <p>I am trying to copy <code>C</code> source files from a vms alpha to a windows machine to allow easier editing of the code. (VMS editor is just a text editor and it would be nice to have syntax highlighting etc)</p>
  
  <p>I can copy this across using Exceed FTP and this handles the issue of duplicate filenames with version suffix that vms has: </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>File.c;1   </li>
  <li>File.c;2   </li>
  <li>Flle.c;3</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>But when I open a file I've transferred, all the line breaks have been lost and the entire file is just one line. </p>
  
  <p>Can anyone recommend a solution to this or offer any hints?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
  
  <p>ps. I need to be able to copy the files back to vms and still maintain format.</p>
