I have a problem with White Knight when transfering text files... After receiving or sending a text file I see that all I have is the entire text on one line. I believe I have the filters set correctly to remove LF but not CR, I'm using WK 11.02. What am I doing wrong?! -Mark Steele

Therefore if you discard LFs leaving only CRs you wind up with everything on one line! When talking to Unix systems, you must map LF to CR instead of dumping them. Just remember that if you do this on systems that use CRLF for EOL this mapping will doublespace your text. I hope this helps. H3nry P.S.

If you download a file from a system, and the text appears as indicated above (all on one line), you need to create a file transfer filter in White Knight that translates 010 to 013. If you are sending a text file, you need to add LF's with the AddLF RCMD that was included on the Wk Master disk...Hope this info helps..
