I sent the file to myself (translating it from ASCII to EBCDIC and back), and the spaces were not deleted and the file was identical to the file which I sent in the first place. So, if you would like to shoot something, shoot the Stanford gateway or some IBM host running that vile operating system, VM.

Sorry Greg, I didn't want to flame you or your computer. I just wanted to tell other people that there's a way to recover the file without having you to repost it. I actually meant 'those' instead of 'that' (see plural 'hosts') and couldn't repair that after having posted. Besides, I should have added a :-) or :-( after that sentence. Enough said, Michael.
