There s something else going on here. I m not sure who originally analyzed the
file to decide that the format was Stream-CR (although given that the analysis was done on
RSX, we can probably guess :-)

So the stuff about Stream-CR is bogus and a red herring, and I don t know why Sampsa
had trouble.

Ah. Yes, that would be a possible, source, I guess. But I find Stream_CR a but
surprising.
Maybe I'm just too ignorant of VMS formats here. But isn't there a plain Stream
as well
(which also exists in RSX), in which records are terminated by CR+LF, and which is what
I would expect a Windows machine to produce...

Stream_CR typically surfaces with files coming from WEENDOZE. Funny thing about LEGATO's INFO.TXT - my
parser looks for the .BEGIN-HECNET-INFO tag and deletes all text after that.
I should probably make a manual HLP file for LEGATO, Bob you OK with that?
LEGATO's INFO.TXT have real yucky file attributes and a real yucky
file format. :-) (What on earth was used to produce it???)
