I recently started using the TVX public domain editor program in conjunction with MWC. TVX (dated 10/06/86) works just fine except for one small problem - it appends a CP/M End-Of-File byte (0x1a, 26) to the end of the file. It just so happens that MWC chokes on this and reports an invalid character. Is there a newer version of TVX that solves this problem?

And there is no need for it, 'cause you can eliminate the problem on yours: when you call up the TVX editor, use the option switch -noz in the command line, and the EOF mark will not be appended. - Rob DeMillo Brown University - Planetary Science Group UUCP: ...{seismo!harpo}!ihnp4!brunix!rjd -- or -- ...{seismo!harpo}!ihnp4!brunix!europa!demillo BITNET: GE702025@BROWNVM SPAN: BRNPSG::DEMILLO CompuServe: 73537,2737 ------ "...I am not so sure what you want me for!
