Re: problems transfering databases

I think we may be using too many words in this discussion.
Perhaps there is a message in this thread that I have not seen.
Miroslav, have you tested for carriage returns in your data, and if so, what
did you find?
If that is the problem, the carriage returns are easily edited out, and
speculation about the cause may use more time than it is worth...
If that is not the problem, we definitely have something weird.
The original error message shows the problem occurring at the first line of
your data. Perhaps you could pipe the first few lines through some utility
that shows nonprinting characters (like "vis -lw"), and see what that shows?
