Hi all, I am trying to read a Unix file from and old aix machine. The people who sent it will not bend in how they sent it. What I got was in binary format so I used 'od' to convert it to ascii. When I tried to cat the file before trying to READSEQ records it looked like gibberish! I realized that if I set my Term type to vt100, I could read it but the carriage returns were just ^M after each record. After trying 'sed' I gave up. Universe will not read the file at all. I still get gibberish even on the converted file. Any ideas? There must be a way to do this. What am I missing?
