Later on when I transfered these data files to other computers such as Bondwell PC (using MS DOS) or a ND-500 computer, the data files turned to a big mess: many lines become one line. I guess the problem may be due to different RETURN-codes used by different machines. Can somebody tell me how to create files on IB PC RT which can be directly readable on other machines ? If the files are ascii text you need to specify the '-a' switch to doswrite. This of course assumes you are running AOS and not AIX. I would assume that the AIX equivalent of doswrite would have a similar switch for transfering ascii files. -- Dan Ehrlich | Disclaimer: The opinions expressed are The Pennsylvania State University | my own, and should not be attributed Department of Computer Science | to anyone else, living or dead.
