Hi

I suspect this may have come up on the list before, but I will ask anyway.

I am FTP'ing some fixed length ascii text files from an HP3000 to my windows
box and importing them into an SQL data warehouse.  The problem I have is,
if I use ascii as a transfer option, some of the European characters
disappear from the text.  If I use the binary option, they appear correctly,
but the carriage returns and line feeds are, effectively, missing
(technically they are still there of course).

Now I using C#.NET to do this, so I could write a program to re-add the CR
at the correct record position, but I wonder if anyone else had come up with
a better solution to this issue.

BTW- I have no control at the HP3000 end.
