Oddly enough, ht://Dig programs strip off the carriage returns from the end of the lines, so lines terminated with CR/LF instead of just LF shouldn't pose a problem. What I was saying earlier is that if the lines end with just CR, and no LF, then it is a problem. An ASCII CR control character (carriage return) has a hex 0D value, while an ASCII LF control character (line feed) has a hex 0A value. Unix/Linux programs need the 0A value, also called the newline character, as a line terminator. Some Linux programs also allow CR/LF, hex 0D0A, as line terminator, just because so many DOS/Windows based editors use these, but not all Linux programs allow these. But what is this M-underline character? Do you mean the "M-_" that a cat -v command would show? If so, that is actually a hex DF value, i.e. the underscore with the top bit set, or � (German es-tset) in ISO-8859-1. If your editor was adding these, there is indeed a problem. -- Gilles R.
