I use binary for everything - it's easier to deal with the missing \r then to deal with bad binary data files. If you must use ASCII at all - restrict it to files that you are positive are text-only files. Windoze can handle \n line endings in most cases as well as \r\n - exceptions might include .bat files and possibly others (not sure which if any, but I would consider .ini files to be a possible). -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=162126130 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl-Unix-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
