Macs use a carriage return at the end of each line. DOS and its derivatives use a carriage return-linefeed pair. The ^M is the the <CR> from the Mac. You'll see that with DOS files too. To switch back and forth between DOS and Unix there are a set of utilities (dos2unix and unix2dos) that will fix these up for you. I have around here (somewhere) a script that I found on the net somewhere called mac2unix that converts the <CR>s to <LF>s. Don't know about going the other way, should be able to rewrite the script to do that. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Steve Garcia using MR/2 ICE #10133 with Warp 4 [EMAIL PROTECTED] For PGP key, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subject "PGP key" ----------------------------------------------------------- The Operating System/2 Version is 4.50 Revision 14.062 There are 38 Processes with 138 Threads.
