hi folks,

since no Mac or UNIX was involved in the creation of the mpd file we are trying

Maybe it's a downloading problem.  On windows .mpd files are associated
with microsoft project by default.  Perhaps because of this, some sort
of translation occurred on downloading the file?  Or more likely it's an
uploading problem.  If you used ftp to upload it, and did not set ftp

Sorry no screenshots, but Willy and Dos are identical files and
behaved well in notepad.  Bot Mac and Unix showed little boxes where
the linefeeds should be.  The files are different though.  Unix had
\n linefeeds, and Mac had \r return chars.

Have fun,

Don
