Another think I never could find was something that an Air Force Sergeant in a comm center sent me looking for many years ago -- you got a good deal on a "bucket of line feeds"? ******************************** "Don't take life too serious - it ain't nohow permanent" (Pogo) John R.

Sounds like a few things we used to send the new Navy boots on board ship.

Wainwright 72517,676 (X) John, I looked all over my garage for a "bucket of line feeds". I coulda swore I had some. Used to store them next to the nulls I used after my carrage returned from the shop.

Fm: Mark Logan 73354,1245 To: All I'm having trouble restoring downloads from this forum with the ARC utility. Every time I try it, I get an error message that says the file has a bad header. I'm downloading files onto my Mac, then porting them via DOS floppy to my Philips 605 running OS-9. Are the files possibly coming across as Mac Binary during the download? I've looked but can find no switch to force the downloads not to be treated as Mac Binary. Or maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree. Any ideas? A reply via Compuserve mail would be most appreciated. Thanks, Mark Logan There is 1 Reply. #: 19879 S1/General Interest 07-Apr-94 00:59:47 Sb: #19878-Bad Header? Fm: Wayne Day 76703,376 To: Mark Logan 73354,1245 Mark, Your terminal program on the Mac should have a switch that allows you to engage MacBinary or not. If you don't, trash that stupid program and get one of the ones that does.... TermPlus, ZTerm, ClarisWorks, etc. Once you've got it in straight binary form, well.... it's anyone's guess from there.

On the distribution disks for the MM/1 there are two sort utilities, "qsort", documented in the OSK manuals, and "sort", documented absolutely NOWHERE. They seem to do about the same thing, but sort is bigger, and seems to handle input a little differently. "qsort file" will print file (sorted). sort will do it too, but you have to tell it: "sort > <> Press !>
