Sorry, still broken.  Are you uploading this in ASCII mode, or
something?  Try an explicit BINARY command (if ftp under VMS works

Anyway, I did M-x replace-string ^Q^J^Q^J ^Q^J RET in emacs on the
file and uploaded the results as openvms_freeciv2.diff .  I haven't
looked at the result yet, though.
