For those who have been following this thread, Derek and I had a private
e-mail exchange about this.  When I asked to send me the exact files he was
using, he discovered with some embarrassment that HIS version of his
dash9.eng had been modified during testing, and actually DID contain 0a 00
0a 00 0a 00 0a 00.  Problem solved.
