I appreciate the help and suggestions. I was afraid that this question would be considered "off topic", but thought I would give it a try to see if anyone else gets these results from R output files. As I do not know what a hex editor or hexbin are I guess I will not be able to continue this discussion here. I will take Duncan's suggestion and try R-Geo? ~K

Please either describe the difference in the files (you may need a hex editor or the hexbin package to detect the differences) or supply the files that behave differently (this may require some alternate route than this mailing list if there are odd characters at fault). For what it is worth, TXT is not a clearly-defined format, so this could be more effectively addressed by using a more specific format for data exchange. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
