Unix import of a DOS spreadsheet...

[Mike Schwartz]

     Thanks, John.  I've written hundreds of imports and exports, so I know
about dtox, xlate and most of the other methods mentioned for working around
the problem.  It was just that I came across the r=10&13 syntax in Stuart
Werner's filePro Developer's Reference and I was trying to get that to work.


     If Ken says that's not a valid syntax, that's all I needed to know.

     I had forgotten about the translation feature of FTP, but in this case
the end users will be sending the files in using FTP themselves and I don't
want to take a chance on their methods of FTP failing. 

Thanks again!
