Linux must be gettin more tolerant ;> Just thought it was worth mentioning that 'edit' in M$ products still does it right if you save a u*nx created file with it. I suspect it's the only M$ editor that adheres to ASCII standards. FWIW, if you need to do batch conversions for '\n' between U*nx and DOS (windoze), do a Google or ftp search for 'unix2dos'. I believe there's also 'dos2unix'. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
