On what machine/OS are you developing? Usually it is the Macintosh that ends 
lines with Carriage Returns only - i.e., Chr(13) - while the various brands of 
Unix use Line Feed only - i.e., Chr(10) - and Windows uses both - i.e., 
Chr(13)Chr(10).

It sounds as if your problem is caused by somebody transferring a text file 
created on a Mac to a Windows environment in binary mode (i.e., without text 
conversion).

Unfortunately, if you really don't know what all this means, it's a bit 
difficult to explain to you how to fix it... I suppose you're not familiar with 
tools like the Unix program tr(1) and its DOW/Windows ports? Try reading the 
documentation of the text editor you're using - perhaps it can be configured to 
perform the end-of-line conversion properly. If not, see whether it can search 
and replace control characters (i.e., non-printable characters).

If all else fails, ZIP the problematic text file and e-mail it to me - I'll fix 
it and will send it back.

Regards,
Vesselin
