DOS files typically have ^M characters at the end of each line and maybe a ^Z at the end of file. This is different to using an alternate character set. > What about running dos2unix on it?

It might drop the \000 characters as it goes. *shrug* -- rgds Stephen _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
