It's not so much not on macos, but that this runs on macos, but the
remote system apparently expects dos (I *assume* they actually run
unix, but the thing is so sloppy that a server on windows wouldn't
surprise me . . .)

My code needs to produce a file that can be sent to this remote system
regardless of my host os.

So would I use mactoiso & binfile like this on osx and linux, but just
the filed and file if running on the dark side?
