If it is a plain text file, then it may have been mangled during its passage through the internet. Ask the user to resend. Otherwise, find a proper viewer. -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
