Yes, bits is bits except when you take a binary file and add CR/LF pairs when it shouldn't. IIRC, there is/was a switch somewhere that caused SAMBA to leave the file alone an not try to "translate" it - it behaves as if the file is transferred to the SAMBA share on VMS in ASCII mode which adds the CR/LF because it is not smart enough to know that it is a binary vs a text file.
