The compiler should never be seeing those line-feeds. If you're using some sort of UNIX file server, there should be some way to set up the connection such that line-feeds are translated into carriage-returns automatically when the file is transferred. As far as I can tell from the documentation, this is the EOL property of the stream, which is supposed to be properly defaulted by the file device that makes connections to your server. It looks like you haven't set up the parameters for that device properly. Pavel
