Ganun din ako noon. I was running Counter-Strike 1.3 server on a Linbox. I went to the Windows machine to configure the Counter-strike client. Ang server.cfg sa Linbox nakashare sa mga windows client via Samba. Guess what? I edited the server.cfg on the Samba shared by the Linbox (read and write permission) with Notepad. After saving the file, di na mabasa ng CS Linux binary ang server.cfg. Hehehehe... Opening up the file in StarOffice 5.2 later, I saw the offending codes. I removed this and everything was fine after that. One lesson I learned. If I am booted to Linux, it's great to edit Windows batch files and other comparable text files in my Windows partition with StarOffice and Openoffice. Openoffice will immediately recognize these as Windows-type files and automatically apply Windows-like editing on this. Open and save. It's simple as that, no need to run dos2unix and similar commands. By the way, I might try exploring dos2unix and other commands that will strip the file, just in case I don't have OpenOffice installed in a Linux box. Thanks to everyone, I learn from this mailing list everyday. If I had this mailing list way back in high school, baka di na ako nag-college. Hehehehe...I wonder how Steve Wozniak became a self-taught computer whiz. mikol _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
