I have the file (MacWrite) on the Mac, and I want to move it to the UNIX system. I save it "as text only" with MacWrite directly on the DosMounted P.C. disk. This is when I get the problem reading on the unix system. If I move the file with Apple file transfer instead, it works fine. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Geoffrey S.
