The file length was OK but the sum was different than it I get this problem on uuencoded files a lot - especially when moving from DOS to UNIX via Ethernet or something. It occurs because of one machine wanting CR-LF as an end-of-line and the other wanting just CR or LF. There is no way I have found of putting the ^M character into a serch sequence. However ... all lines end with it so you can simply delete the last character of each line using : s/.$// Hope this helps. -Pete French.
