---- Ahhhh.... yes, I know the problem very well. Let me rephrase your comment. When you uploaded a file from your laptop to your DOS computer, it stored to disk without linefeed characters. Excellent!!! This is "exactly" what all stock Model 100, 102, and 200's do!! Way back when, a long time ago, in a land far, far away, the developers of the Model 100 decided to "not" generate the line feed character (HEX 0A, Dec 10) along with the charrage return character (HEX 0D, Dec 13). And that's the way the Model 100 hit the market. Very soon after its introduction in March 1983, programmer-type folks discovered that they could turn the line feed character back on. One of the oldest files in our library is the line feed program. It allows you to toggle line feed generation for both printing and telcom use. Now, back to my last message to you regarding Lapdos II. Guess what? You don't need to go through the line feed pain if you use Lapdos II for file transfers between your Model T and your DOS computer. But, if you'd like to experience the fun of having line feed generation, you may download the line feed generation program from the library or... it's one of the hand full of public domain program included on the Lapdos II distribution disk. Okay... so the mystery is solved and solutions are at hand. Hope this helps... -Rick-
