Message: [QUOTE="Dennis Lee Bieber, post: 1729002"] Gordon Scott fed this fish to the penguins on Thursday 02 October 2003 06:49 am: The binary data /is/ what you expect. The string representation is being simplified to the escape codes one would normally find in a (user entered) string for <tab> and <newline>(aka <lf>) -- which have the values of 9 and 10. Looks like a text mode transfer converting from a system that uses <lf> to the format of a system that uses <cr>. If you have the control for it, try performing the transfer with the "file" in binary mode (on both ends). -- [/QUOTE]
