I've written such a program (in Pascal). : By the way, without enabling CCTL, I believe the file system ignores any : carriage-control directives given in the FWRITE. This is my understanding as well, but it doesn't mean you get no carriage control (as in %320), it just means you can't specify it in FWRITE. The file system generates an internal code which results in a <cr><lf>. -Larry "MPE/iX Spoolers 'R' Us" Byler-
