Re: [newbie] Copy Files
I believe this happens because *nix uses only a carriage-return as its end-of-record marker, whereas winders is expecting a carriage-return/line-feed combination. Many winders editors such as UltraEdit (look it up on the 'Net), either recognizes this automatically and compensates, or allows you to tell the program you are reading a *nix-generated file. I am not sure if you can tell Linux editors to write CR-LF's Bryan "Eunice Thompson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 03/28/2000 05:11:56 AM Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:(bcc: Bryan Moorehead/Link/Allied Holdings) Subject: [newbie] Copy Files I saved a /var/log/*file on a floppy.

They both understand the CR CR/LF problem.
