I've been fixing them with a text editor, but can't tell if the file is completely OK yet. I don't know what might have been done to this file that I haven't noticed yet. Is there some simple unix way to either check that all funny characters have been removed, or better, to get a list of the characters that might still need replacing? -- Regards, -*Sue*- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
