Hello, I'am meena doing a project in HP ISO about printing spool files from MPE 5.0. My design is to have a server running on Unix and the server running on MPE. The client and server communicate through BSD sockets. When these spool files are transferred to Unix using ftp there are some control characters appearing in these files. But when they are printed directly form MPE using the sockets these control characters are not present. I would like to know when exactly these CCTLs get embedded in the spool files. Any ideas/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks & Regards Meena
