Hmm, I thought I had. 'b' stand for 'binary', and the system sends out exactly the bytes you right. Without the 'b' it assumes you are handling text, so Windows "CR/LF" line endings are converted to "LF" or reading, and "LF" is converted to "CR/LF" on writing. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden --------------- Asciimercial ------------------ Get on the web: Blog, lens and tag the Internet Many services currently offer free registration ----------- Thank You for Reading ------------- -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
