This can be done if you translate them to ASCII yourself. Write a REXX program
that reads every line, translates it to ASCII with X'15' -> X'8A' and X'14' unchanged,
appends LF, and writes the final result to a single-record RECFM F file that you then
FTP to unix in binary mode. Test this carefully, then concatenate all the files to a
single file called signup2.file, put it in the main directory of the unix server and
restart it. This will re-hash the data correctly for unix (the hash function may not
give the same results as on VM), and will also convert the files to the correct
format.
