this is what YOU wrote:

'something to that effect', 'here's some psuedo code'? is that exact?

you posted that after your first message. i wrote my response between
the two postings. when i saw your post, i realized that my diagnosis was
most probably correct, so i didn't see any point in e-mailing you again.

since then, did you actually try opening the files in binary mode to see
if the problem goes away? also, even in your second post, you did not
give any clues as to the nature of the files: binary or text?
