Let's try this again....
Could someone please re-post the ControlLock XCMD? I got a copy with extra
linefeeds between each line, and I couldn't get BinHex to bless it no matter
what I did.

I have asked how to strip these extra linefeeds before, and here are the two solutions that I received: cat file | sed '/^$/d' or, from within vi, :g/^$/d These commands will delete all of the blank lines from the posting. Then you don't need anyone to send you another copy. -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)

A repost (that is unBinHex'able) would be appreciated.

Yes, I know umpteen different ways to strip extra linefeeds. Howvever, Binhex didn't like the file before or after I did that. -- baum@apple.com (408)974-3385 {decwrl,hplabs}!amdahl!apple!baum
