There is no distinction of `binary' and `text' files in Unix. All files are just collections of data bytes, that happen to co-exist in a sequential stream called `a file'. Unix does not care what you put in your files. It's up to you to define their interpretation as `normal' or `abnormal' :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
