Onsimtel some files have an extension of .C or .FOR as, for example, pd1:[msdos.fortran]weekday.for does. I expected this file to be in ASCII format - but it is not! What format is it in? What format are the other .C files in? Thank you. Ray

If you get the files in 7-bit transfer mode (the mode you start up in -- DON'T type "tenex") then it'll be fine. I know -- I got pd1:<msdos.c>weekday.c just the other night. This is true of .TXT files as well as .C and .FOR files -- transfer all those in 7-bit mode. -- larry hastings, the galactic funkster, funkstr@ucscb.ucsc.edu I don't speak for Knowledge Dynamics or UC Santa Cruz, nor do they speak for me "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you're making too damn much money" --Robin Williams
