The post to which I was replying said that a missing CR/LF caused this behavior. I pointed out that CR/LF was the line terminator for DOS/Windows. It is not the line terminator for UNIX, for example, and there is a specific statement in the ARM that terminators need not be characters in the file, as is the case for VMS. -- Jeff Carter "I like it when the support group complains that they have insufficient data on mean time to repair bugs in Ada software."
