When did Inventor start recognizing .iv files that have MS-DOS
line endings? I know that when someone uses my company's InterChange
program to create an ASCII Inventor file on a PC, and then they do
a binary transfer via rcp or ftp to the SGI, Open Inventor's viewers
complain that the file isn't Inventor. If they translate the
line endings, it works... I'm not sure if the customers were
using 2.0 or 2.0.1.
