Sam, the thing is that a bizarre Frame document is opened on the
receiving end--that can't be coming from Windows, can it?

Thanks,
Theresa

One of the things that used to drive us nutty when we would look at
our Unix files from our corporate-mandated work PCs was that the PC
tools kept adding control-Ms to the end of lines, which would then
break our Unix-based parsing engine.

Perhaps something like this is happening?  FrameMaker has its roots
in Unix, also.  You might want to check how the XML tools expect
end-of-line to be indicated, and what their maximum element or line
length is.

I'd like to think that all these years later they've made tools where
the OS and <CR> vs <CR><LF> doesn't matter, but, well, freeware
tools....

Good luck-

Sam.
