Brian,

If it follows the Sybase bcp, the \n is the default.  Note that in the
shell, you must double barefoot backslashes of control character
metastrings:

-c

performs the copy operation with char datatype as the default storage type
of all columns in the data file. Use this format if you are sharing data
between platforms. This parameter does not prompt for each field; it uses
char as the default storage type, no prefixes, 

\t
(tab) as the default field terminator, and 
\n
(new line) as the default row terminator

Best regards,

David

It should work with just the -c option, regardless of the version.
take a look at your data file, using 'od' perhaps, to see what's
*really* terminating the row.
