Expires: <none_specified> File protection: System:RE, Owner:RE, Group:RE, World:RE File organization: Sequential File attributes: Allocation=0 Record format: Stream-CR, no maximum defined Record attributes: Carriage return What does it mean if you have stream-CR and attribute Carriage Return? I mean, yes, each record is separated by a CR, and then what? Add an additional CR at the end of each line? Also, if I pull the file down to MIM, it gets really strange. Dumping the file, there aren't a single CR in the file. Each line is terminated by a LF, so it looks really Unixy. Not sure if something mangled the file during the transfer maybe, or does it look that way on a VMS system too?
