Checkpoint files are written in a binary format which Gaussian can directly read.  If you want to transfer 
the file to a different machine, especially a different platform then you need to use the FORMCHK utility 
that converts the binary file into a formatted ascii file.  The conversion should be done on the machine 
that created it.  If you want to use the file in a Windows environment, then you'll need to run UNIX2DOS 
command (it replaces the Line Feed (LF) ascii code with Carriage Return (CR) Line Feed (LF) used by 
Windows), before FTPing it to the Wondows machine.  There is Unix2dos utility for Windows called 
Tofrodos (http://www.thefreecountry.com/tofrodos/) if you wish to do the Unix-DOS conversion under 
Windows/DOS.
