One last thing to note !
I just changed (using a hex editor) all the EOFs to CR  NOT LF, and that 
works !!

I.e. Now Srec's with CR... or LF.... but not both work. (before I thought it 
was just removing CR).

It appears as though Linux IS somehow changing CR into CR/LF, or at least 
interpreting it as LF??
I tried all permutations of the stty stuff you mentioned just to be sure but 
no luck.

I cat -v file.s19... and this shows NO LF, and prints the ^M's then. So that 
is ok...

BUT here is something I noticed.  If you press CTRL-M  (^M) at a prompt. 
Linux treats it as a CR/LF not as just a carriage return !!!!  Is this a 
valid test?!  e.g. CTRL-G does what it should etc.
