| 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?

Are you creating the file in the same processing table that has that
system command?
