Sorry but I've been installing software on IBM operating systems for just short of 40 years. If I need a service contract to install something like this, I'm not interested. Jim Alan Altmark wrote: On Thursday, 02/22/2007 at 11:56 CST, Thomas Kern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: What would b

This sounds like an error in whatever "filter" software they are using on the remote UNIX side to convert the UNIX file (in which X'0C' is a FormFeed) to whatever you are accepting. It sounds like they have a custom filter there. Without knowning more about their UNIX/Linux setup, it is really d
