| I don't think there is anything you can do *during* transfer. But after ther
are (I believe) programs to do the conversion...
On the VAX I do:
$ teco file-to-remove-LF-from
*ex<esc><esc>
Where <esc> can be generated by ^] (control right bracket)

If you are using Smokey trying setting transfer mode to Text prior
to the transfer. This works in both directions.

I've been using a PD utility called 'Strip' that converts an Amiga
line feed to a CR/LF. It's odd that Handshake doesn't seem able
to correctly do this; I still get a single paragraph 10 miles long.
Strip accepts several arguments, and is pretty easy to use. I'll
upload the archive tonight.
As an alternative, Scribble!, WordPerfect and perhaps other programs
allow the saving of a so called printer file which makes the transfer
to a VAX intact.

| Terminal emulators generally will do the end-of-line conversion
between the VMS (and MS-DOS) CR-LF and the Amiga LF. For instance,
the 'VT100' emulator has a transfer mode option in one menu of
IMAGE - use for binaries
TEXT - use for text files
CONVERT - when TEXT is selected, converts CR-LF <--> LF.
If transferring to/from 5-1/4" floppies using PCCopy, there are
'Text-7' and 'Text-8' options.
The 'TxEd' editor has a 'Strip' option which automatically does
text conversion. (The older version is cheap -- about $30).
On the VAX side, running a file through TECO often fixes line endings,
but that doesn't work in all cases.

I've uploaded a file called 'STRIP.ARC' that prepares a text file
for transfer to a VAX. It runs on the Amiga end by merely specifying
STRIP -W80 FILENAME
It automatically sends the outfile to RAM:. The -w80 argument
specifies that no lines can exceed 80 characters. I find that this
works well.
Look in LEDS3::USER6:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]STRIP.ARC
