Carl, why not just follow the real ascii 10 change by a change of CR CR to CR? Or is the ascii 13 as hard to deal with as the 10?including one at EOF. The problem, however, is that it also changes Ascii-10's embedded in CrLfs, so that CrLf becomes Cr+CrLf. No good.Regards, Harry Harry Binswanger hb@xxxxxxxx
