Text (ascii) files created on computers running Mac OS might have Mac newlines that are not interpreted correctly by a Unix/Linux system. However, you can convert a Mac text file to the Unix/Linux format with the mac2unix command available on the RCC altix and rcluster. The syntax is mac2unix filename where filename is the name of the ascii file (such as program.c, program.f, run.sh, input.txt, etc) created on a machine with Mac OS.
