I believe from my looking at the file the first byte of the file is perturbing what file things, as the first byte is infact a LF, after that there are no more linefeeds in all of the sample I downloaded. > My understanding is that CR/LF is DOS style. But file is being confused, by manual analysis says this is a pure CR file with a single LF as byte 1. -- Rod Grimes [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
