Thanks for the help. As far the above I was referring to was that the original file being exported was all text. But in all fairness I solved the print to file issue. In Win 98 if one set printer to generic and type to generic/text Only with continuous paper one will receive a continuous output of text in text format in a file named <file name>.prn which can then be renamed .txt BUT! For me this really does not do what I need although it is the best that can be done by this method. What I really need is a method of reading a .nfo file with unknown format most probably encrypted. Although I am certain there are people on this list who can open this file I do not believe that this list [or any for that matter list] can help me with this as I most probably would not understand what was being said. Thus thanks for the help again.
