If you're using FTP to do the transfer from UNIX to DOS (which you say you are) then make the the FTP Transfer mode is ASCII, it usually defaults to BINARY (BIN). Most FTP clients will automatically convert CR to CRLF when transfering in ASCII mode.
"ASSIGN 1 to SYSTEM(1017)" In Unidata the equivalent command for no conversion is "NOCONVERT [ON | OFF]" Thanks, -- Donald Verhagen Application Development Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tandem Staffing Solutions, Inc. 1690 S Congress Avenue, Suite 210 Delray Beach, FL 33445 USA Voice Phone: 561.454.3592 Fax Phone: 561.454.3640 >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7:37:01 PM 02/09/2005 >>> There should be a ux2dos or unix2dos program in the operating system you can use to convert cr to crlf.

The file attributes are interpreted as CRLF's when I ftp the file over to the windows system, but when I write or move the file over to the NFS mount, the attributes are only separated by unrecognizable characters (to notepad). The problem is, the version of the (BarTender) application I'm upgrading to, requires a CRLF before/after one of the attributes. Any suggestions/thoughts?
