That's because the file has DOS or Unix line termination and not Mac file termination. If you are running the Linux version, you can convert them easily: tr '\012' '\015' < crashing.sit.hqx > no-crash.sit.hqx This may not be a problem with DOS line termination which as the CR the Mac requires. Linux does not. Tim.
