- Fred,
-
- I'm sorry to take so long for a reply, especially since someone else has
- probably already solved the prblem. Anyway, it appears that you're using
- some brand of UNIX. The UNIX new line character is only a line feed not
- a carriage return - line feed like DOS and many other operating systems.
- You may need to run some unix2dos utility to add the carriage return to
- the text files that contain the HPGL, POSTSCRIPT or whatever before they
- can be used in a DOS environment. This is just an educated quess, but
- once in a while I get lucky.
-
- Hope this helps,
- Bob
