Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V4 #19

ASCII 26 is the End of File Marker.
Each line should have an OD OA (in hex) 13 10 in decimal.
13 = CR 10 = LF.
The last line should have OD OA 1A (13 10 26)

Regards,

Jim Langston

I don't know why you would get an ASCII 26, but the help text does say
you will get CRLF added to each line.
