If you are, it may be a problem with the file type conversion of the file on VMS. If you are using VMS ZOO, there should be a program called BILF to help with file types. Check the documentation for ZOO. -- ==================================================================== David Masterson Consilium, Inc. (415) 691-6311 640 Clyde Ct. uunet!cimshop!davidm Mtn.
