I have made a change to the Express II release of 5.0 (this is the
1st express release after the final 5.0 push and is planned to be
available in April):  command files will have to be ASCII to be
executed.  Today a binary command file can be executed.  The other
conditions still apply: eof >0 and file code in [0..1023].
 
Will the ASCII requirement break any applications, jobs, scripts, etc.??
 
Thank you,

p.s. I made this change in response to some complaints that the CI
     tries to execute binary files as command files, when "it
     should know better".  Note that program files and any file
     with a file code > 1023 is not (today) executed as a command file
     and my change only applies to the file type (ascii vs. binary).
