If you actually believe that you want the file without cr/nl conversion during a read, then you want to open it in binary mode (fopen() with "rb" instead of "r" or open() with '| O_BINARY' appended). This *may* be the solution in this case. Since the default mode for opening files is always "text" but there is no difference in format/behavior between "text" and "binary" on UNIX/Linux, you wouldn't see an issue there. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
