I dont have W2K, but IIRC it uses NTFS and Linux can't write to it. It can read NTFS .. just no writing to it. or it could be that kwrite is saving it in unix format which has a different EOL character, so you could look into dos2unix, which will convert between the 2 different types. or I could be way off with my guessing HTH .. somehow 8) RickS - ------ Mandrake Linux release 10.0 (Official) for i586 Linux 2.6.5-1.tmb.5mdk-i686-up-4GB i686 gpg --recv-keys --keyserver www.keyserver.net 0x24AABE61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Make it too tough for the enemy to get in, and you won't be able to get out -- Murphy's Military Laws n°53 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFApEgbJo/ckCSqvmERAjYQAKCXqNcUlW2pLIl4UUg1R2S64zczfwCfc+eC +yNdgQvUrR5Oz9JcmJDs+UE= =U8bi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
