Hi Jim, I played around a bit with the new crc16 program and from what I 
can tell from a quick look at the source code it will break a file into 
sections when it is more then 16 lines long.  The trouble I see with this 
is the length of the lines is still not known.  It seems like each digital 
sound card program has it's own way of breaking (or not) lines of text up 
when sending. I have found that Digipan 1.2 will start to transmit a file 
that has all the text on one long line but will not complete sending it if 
it is too long.

Stream seems to work fine.  I also found that different e-mail programs 
will break the lines at different lengths.

What is needed is some standard way of breaking up lines so it's the same 
on all.

I'm not really sure what the answer is.  What keeps happening is I run a 
crc check on a file but the results will vary depending on how it was 
chopped up.

Perhaps the input file needs to be stripped of all line feeds and returns 
then broke up into sections by some byte size. I'm not sure how the file 
could be put back to together.

It is a complex problem and if I think of something that might work I will 
let you know.

Thanks for the work and hopefully we can sort out the line length problem.
