You are transferring it as a text file, which is converting long \n's into \r\n's because text files are stored differently on DOS and UNIX. Just before you type your "get" command, type "bin" and hit return. If you are using Netscape or some other browser to do the download, and you are running a WFWG or Win95 machine, there should be an FTP.EXE in C:\WINDOWS that gives you a command-line FTP. Use that instead. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
