Re: File transfer question

It really depends on the text and its purpose. IMHO "Internet e-mail" means anything you can imagine. And it is very rare to transfer it from mainframe to PC. However for most people "e-mail" is just a text. Or "word processor text" - I mean font size, bold, underline, font colour, font type, et

No, Internet e-mail means RFC 5321, RFC 5322, associated RFCs, and their antecedents. Yes, who cares whether their e-mail client display or hides part of the message? What? Where did all of those raised hands come from? --  Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz http://mason.gmu.edu/~smetz3 עַם יִשְׂרָאֵל חַ

Re: File transfer question

Yes, Shmuel really meant "a line comprising EXACTLY hyphen, hyphen, space, newline". That's the standard (if rarely understood) start of a signature, which compliant MUAs will strip when quoting. While I like this standard and use it, I fear that it's fading away. -Original Message- Fro

Re: Does this make any sense?

It's incredible how much CPU (and clock time) can be expended if access to file is doing "unnecessary" IO operations.   One  would hope these days there aren't still any large, poor-blocksize sequential files around, but if default buffering is used on such a file this can cost a lot of Operati

Re: File transfer question

IMHO it works as expected. When you want text you get text lines (not records). No remaining spaces as it is not part of text. CRLF added during conversion from record to line. When you want the content 1:1 you usually don't expect CRLF, however you can convert records to lines ended with CRLF.
