ftp client corrupts binary files with ^m ??


I have ftp.exe installed on my system. When I get text files from other
servers ftp works OK but when I set ftp to 'bin' and get a binary file the
file comes out a little larger and (I Think) it has ^m's inserted into the
binary code, hence it does not run.

Do I need to mount everyting as "text=bin" on my system currently
everyting is text=!bin??

I do not understand how this system translates text files from unix type
to dos type.
