--The specs the file was created from: Filemaker version 5.5, Mac OS 10.4 The newline character is in this case decimal 013 (oct \015). I found this out by parsing each character out in java, and looking at the byte code. I thought the "\n" --dec 10, (oct \012) was standard too, but here is a case where it is clearly isn't. I think it might be a Mac issue, since as a test, my collaborator opened it in "Text Wrangler" and saved it with Unix safe endings, with the same results. I'm not really a Mac person, so this threw me off a bit.
