Hello, Versions :
i tried M4 1.4 and M4 1.4.7 which both shows the problem M4 1.4.4 do not show the problem, but i cannot see a comment, that something is fixed in this area Preprocess a file with the following content 'a' and then some 9000 x "0x0d 0x0a" Then the output is very similar to the input, except that on all offsets divisible by 1024 (0x400) the sequence 0d0a changes to 0d0d0a. Note : sourcefile offset 1023 : 0D offset 1024 : 0A offset 1025 : 0D .... TargetFile offset 1023 : 0D offset 1024 : 0D (!!) offset 1025 : 0A When the first 'a' is replaced by, nothing or by 'aa' then the problem does not occur. i guess that there is a buffer size of 1024 used in M4 for the output buffer and when the first char in the output buffer is 0A then 0D0A is written. I attach such a testfile and the output generated from M4. "a2" is the input file "a2.out" is the output file. generated with : m4 a2 > a2.out Is there any version with this bug fixed and where can i download this version? best regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Mario Semo
