I'm not sure what dBASE III's behavior is--I haven't tried it, but
generally CHR(0) is not recommended practice.  Just so you know your
options, however:  dBASE IV has a new '???' command that is there
specifically to write unmodified output to printers and other
peripherals.  We don't have a Unix version (yet) but dBASE IV
will make programming this particular problem a lot more pleasant.
