"Recently I copied these files onto floppies and tried to load them into the 1108 ..." "Our fileserver uses ^J (Ascii 10) as a newline, so that is what appears on the floppy ..." These two should not follow. COPYFILE of a text file should do EOL conversion, and FLOPPY's EOL convention is CR (^M). I'd guess that the problem is that COPYFILE for thought the file was a binary because it couldn't find its extension on TCPFTP.DEFALT.FILETYPES, and TCP.DEFAULTFILETYPE is set to BINARY. Add an entry to the former, or set the latter to TEXT, and try copying the files to floppy again. Doug
