I once wasted twenty minutes figuring that out when someone with a Windows Notebook and WP tried to print a file on my Linux WP installation. (Eliminating other possibilities first) That reminds me, is there a simple way to take a bunch of files and strip the blank spaces in a shell (some kind of sed command, perhaps)?. I have about 100 floppies I need to do that to (because the Word to ascci converter I'm using in my script chokes on whitespace). I could probably whell out my rusty Perl knowledge to do something, but I'd rather do everything from bash. Robin Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
