The "-s ISO8859-1" tells "todsn" that the data is ASCII and not EBCDIC. I don't think any ASCII based system uses the "nl" (aka NEL) character (0x85) as a line delimiter because it is not a 7-bit character. Actually, it isn't even ASCII. It is Unicode (U+0085). -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
