The ftp program Fetch will set 'TEXT' and 'OMEG' as P.J.Hinton suggests. For years I have had this problem with notebooks my students send in by e-mail attachment. Although you can use ResEdit, I settled on the solution of creating an AppleScript droplet. Select all the files you want changed, drag them to the droplet, and the change is made. Unfortunately I long ago lost the code. I can try sending the compiled droplet (how?) to anyone that wants it.
