Seems there is some file incompatibility with my script file that I downloaded from my BSD server. When I copied the file with VIM it got smaller and now works just fine. I don't know what the problem is but it works now. I've noticed similar problems going the other way, moving files to the BSD server. Thanks for the help, -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe...
