[Radiance-general] Errors while transposing with Rcollate.

[Greg Ward]

Hi Sarith,

This seems related to the broken handling of text versus binary files under Windows.  Try reading the file from stdin, instead:

rcollate –h –fa1 –t < a.txt > d.txt

If this works, let me know and I'll see if I can put in a fix.

Cheers,
-Greg
