That depends on what his "binary" files are, and on how important speed is. As the files he wants to convert are all "DOS" files with CRLF line endings it may make more sense to use this information to identify the files to convert rather than trying to figure out which ones are "binary". Are your "binary" files all of the same type? If so, what is it? And what is the purpose of all this? -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
