Porting VMS "writeu" files to UNIX [message #751] Sat, 17 October 1992 13:27

I have found that it is very difficult to port IDL files made using
unformatted writes (eg. writeu,1,buf) to other systems such as UNIX. The
culprit seems to be that under VMS these files have a record attribute of
implied carriage return. If I Kermit the files (having set binary) I get an
irrelevant line feed (ironically not a carriage return) at the end of each
record. Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks, bruce
