Hi. Is there a way to find if a file is binary or not?
Send it to a printer :) (no, don't) We had a DEC service man thoroughly confused over two laser printers that would, at irregular intervals, start spewing out reams of paper with little "spuckoids" all over them. Turns out, a nice, but clueless saleslady was sending .com and .exe files to the printers. They replaced the printers three times each, plus many other trips to try to debug them.. -- Where's dave? http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/find.cgi?kc6ete-9
