I noticed this from John Quirk, and it made me think:

   "Another possibility is&nbsp; that when you download ROOT, the system thought
   "it was a text file and converted all the linefeeds to CRLF strings. It
   "happened to me with exactly the same symptoms you describe.
   "<br>Go back to where you pulled the files from and check the sizes it your
   "ROOT is larger than the online document good bet that's what happened.

Now we're talking...

I didn't think of that, I'll check them. 

Thanks.
