Unix import of a DOS spreadsheet...

[Richard Kreiss]

Mark,

\n = ASCII 10 or NL(new Line for Unix)

\n= ASCII 13/10 (CR\NL carriage return\New line) for Windows

Therefore \R\n on a Unix box looks for a new line for the record end.

On a Windows box \R\n import looks for a carriage return and a new line
CR\NL

This eliminates the byte problem on a windows box using import \r.
