The file isn't corrupt... I just checked. Make sure that you aren't using NotePad to edit the file, if you are either open it in WordPad or get another text editor that understands UNIX linebreaks.@rob_daemon: The attached txt-file seems to be corrupt. Could you please attach it again?
Thanks,
Chriss
