Re: Opening a Text file with a null end
Dear Fideric, Perl certainly allowed me to solve the problem, but it would have been nice to do it with openoffice. I am not certain that I understand your note. Were you able to get openoffice to ignore nulls at the end of a text file? -- Greg Ennis PoMec Corporation www.PoMec.Net We can do it automatically, as much as manually, as much as you. Maybe perl will be fun to you. 2014/1/20 Gregory P.

Re: File formats for the Draw program
Sigh. How could I overlook that one? Trivial oversight. Thanks for the reminder! Tom On 19.
