Re: \n outputs \r\n ??

Thanks for the promp replies to my message. After a bit of testing, running command line, and doing some debugging, I found that it was an ftp statement that was causing the problem. It was sending the file I was creating (which was correct) in ASCII format and this was changing the LF to CRLF. It took a bit to track this down. Thanks for the assistance.
