Re: Bogus assumption prevents d2u/u2d/conv/etal working on mixed files.

Hi All... I too would favor that the d2u and u2d just do what I say. Failing that, instead of --force, could we use --please-o-please-convert-this-file-i-really-mean-it perhaps the I should be capitalized. Thanks, ...Karl From: Charles Wilson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subjec

You guys are missing the point. Charles Wilson mentioned a side effect of the code at issue in the original post and suggested that it was valuable. Personally, I don't care if they attempt to detect binary files or not. My point was (and is) that: *If detection of binary files is desirable*,

UDP socket select/recvfrom problem when no server

I've got a UDP socket application that fails since my most recent upgrade, I believe from 1.5.9 to 1.5.9-1. Basic UDP app that fails as follows: First problem (note, 10.1.1.19 is the local machine): - bind 10.1.1.19:5001 - select() -- no socket ready - sendto 10.1.1.19:5000 - select() -- soc
