Re: Carriage Returns

Hi Marc,

ok, technically, you got me bang to rights there ! But, on my unix servers, a linefeed acts like a CR/LF pair, unlike MSDOS/WINDOWS which needs both.
In fact, My Sinclair QL uses LF as CR/LF as well - so it can't be that bad :o)

If I spool CHR(13) on a Unix box, I don't get carriage retrurns, I just get a 'blob' in the output, but if I spool CHR(10) then I get what I need.

Cheers,
Norman.

PS. I did put 'carriage returns' in quotes in my post - honest !

CHR(10) is in fact a linefeed :-)
