Hi gang, I'm having a problem with some windows .txt files. When I copy them onto linux and open them with pico, gedit, etc... there is either nothing there or it's hexidecimal. Any way I can read these??? -- Doug Henry, MCSE/MCP+I Senior Applications Developer/DBA Gage Impact Incentives doug_henry at gage.com (work) doug at northlandstudios.com (personal)
