I have a file generated by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
ftp.cme.com/pub/time
each ZIP file contains 4 ascii data files.
When I unzip one of these and open it with NotePad, there is no problem
When I open it with UltraEdit i get a message:
"Do you want to convert vt010705.iom to DOS format?"
If I answer yes or no the Ascii file is still displayed.
The problem is that when I try to input a line with my program
using LINE INPUT, the program gets stuck for a few seconds
and then locks up with the error "... illegal operation ... contact vendor ..."
I called CME and no one really knows. They say the files are produced
by a main frame but dont know more than that. Most people open them
in excell which thinks the file is Windows ANSI and not DOS
What is the difference
How do I input a line from PB?
------------------
Kind Regards
Mike
