Ended up looking at the older threads and the fix posted a few months ago, to use the program textwrangler and save in UNIX text format, worked. The problem seems to be that the normal Mac text handling programs do not have this option and Athena requires it. Just looking at the files in another text editing program does not reveal the problem. Anyway, problem solved. Hello Jay, Hello Bruce,
I had the same issue a couple of weeks ago. As I had a large number of files to change from mac-linebreaks to windows-linebreaks (to unix-linebreaks can also be implemented) I wrote a small Perl-program that operates on all files in a directory and its subdirectories and do the reformatting for me. That saved me from opening/saving each file independently. If you (anyone) is interested in the code I can post it here, though I would first have to change a few lines as the script uses full paths. Of course you would have to have Perl installed on your computer. Cheers, Gerrit
