system xtod on sco file size limit?

[scott at logicdatasystems.com]

I am using xtod with the system command to change a filepro export
to dos, then copy to a winderz pc.  

The ending file size is smaller than the original.  Of course, this
works fine from the command line.  Thinking it may be a timeing issue,
I tried sleep "10000" after, to no avail.  Small files are ok, but 
the file testing starts as 19195 bytes and ends as 18618, and the data
is cut off. 

Is there a buffer limitation not documented?  

Is there a way to wait for a response from the system call
to proceed?

Thanks,
