My tests all show that ^@ is not null but the \n you want.
Control-J is two bytes: \0 \n
Under C the \0\n is a End-Of-String indicator -- required to

Thanks! I'll post back to the list once I find out whether this all
turns out okay. The problem is that we have to create a file which is
being sent to a client, who will then import it. I won't be able to
test it myself, in other words. I wanted to be as sure as possible
that the output I was seeing was correct.
Unless I'm in a different parallel universe this doesn't make sense at all!
What tests have you done Bill?
How is ^@ (a null or zero byte) equal to "\n"?
How is control-J two bytes? I thought it was pretty much defined as the
character consisting of the least-significant five bits of the value for
the letter 'J', which is ten.
Under my C, internal strings are terminated with a null byte character "\0"
or "\c@", and only garbage follows that null terminator.
