Might then that explain why Mark Stuart could only get the 'binfile' version
of a solution to work.

Sarah and Jacque told him to replace  "+" & CRLF with "", but if what you
say is correct, then Rev has already removed CRLFs, no such combo should
exist?

Mark, although you seem to have got a solution with binfile, does it work
with 'file' but just replacing "+" & LF ?

Also agree that everything learnt from this thread should make it to the
newsletter. I volunteer Mark Stuart ;-)
