Hey thanks Benjamin!
That seems to have done the trick. I develop on a G3 macintosh using mainly
BBEdit. I use the Macintosh services on my NT development machine to view
things on. I had never even thought of the differences between CR and LF on
the two but I have seen that happen before when moving files from a mac to a
unix machine.
Thanks a lot!
