Ignore that last post,, I just reread you last email and yes I use the
'binary' command when transferring file. I thought something new had just
popped up that I was unaware of,,, that could be most anything these days,,

yeah.. if you ftped it as ASCII then I'm afraid your out of luck.. when
you do that FTP will strip certain chars out I beleive.. Or maybe it adds
them.. I can't reember.. but.. in any case.. it is not good to transfer
binary files with out doing the 'bin' command first in the ftp session..
