Seplowitz) Newsgroups: comp.sys.cbm Subject: ASCII Uploading Problems (Survey file) Message-ID: Date: 25 Jan 91 06:09:00 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 18 I had been in contact with someone who gave me help on this topic (refering to use of the TR command in UNIX). Unfortunately I am very disorganized and I have a couple of names, but no description as to what topics are related to them. Therefore I'm posting this question. My problem has been that a straight upload of an ASCII file results in the text being all on one line. The TR command fixes this. However, now I can't seem to upload the entire file (upload aborts for some reason--I've tried several versions of the file). So I used Desterm's transmit buffer feature to write to text file directly into an EMACS file. This works fine except that there is an additional carriage return added to each line. For those familiar with UNIX, the man pages state that this command translates the input. I've tried experimenting with this command with no luck...anyone have any suggestions? Sorry that I keep coming back with more problems. :)
