Hmmm. Wordpad is *not* handling this file correctly. If it matters, I'm told that we get the file zipped from the Unix shop and we unzip it here. Could it be that the Unix zip / Windoze unzip is not converting the LF or CR character correctly? - Dan Bale -----Original Message----- From: midrange-l-admin@midrange.com [mailto:midrange-l-admin@midrange.com]On Behalf Of Adam Lang Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2002 1:36 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: Unix file to PC, weird LF-CR It is because Microsoft "embraced and extended" end of lines. Unix only uses one character to end lines (either LF or CR ... can not recall). Goofy assed MS uses CRLF to denote end of line. If you open the unix text file in wordpad, it handles the the unix style correctly.
