I was wrong here, someone did give that as an example, and oddly this file is infact a "CR" only terminated lines, other than it oddly as a LF as the first byte. See my other mail, I think I have it fixed.... At least I have a copy locally that reports the right "file" output, and opens just fine in vi (not vim, not emacs, no, vi as in nvi from UCB). -- Rod Grimes [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
