Oh, forgot to mention. If you're using FTP to copy from UNIX to Windows, then be sure to use an ASCII transfer and not a BINARY one. If you use ASCII, the ftp from UNIX to Windows will cause the Windows file to have CRLF instead of just LF. My original reply was assuming that the UNIX system directly wrote to the Windows disk or that Windows was directly reading the UNIX disk (like with CIFS or NFS). -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
