wget may have a good reason to use text mode for stdout such as piping text files which could be either in unix or dos format. Changing stdout to binary mode might cause other regressions. A safer workaround (needed for window only) could be writing to a temporary file, reading its content, and purging the file. -- regards, ==================================================== GPG key 1024D/4434BAB3 2008-08-24 gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 4434BAB3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
