On windows it runs fine, on Linux, it seems to put in a different looking character in for 240.chr. Is this some sort of encoding issue? Is there something simple I am overlooking? Thanks, RVic.

You need to be looking at the binary data stream to see what is being sent/received. Don't look at the glyphs at all.
