Right > now, I can't think of any. CRLF or LF could be used as the defined separators for a "lines" range count. This wouldn't be useful for all formats, but could be useful for many text and text-based formats or even binary formats that happened to use LF as a line separator. I know MS software uses "rows" counters for XML-formatted data but as you say that's dependent on a particular format. I'm not aware of any other implemented range units beyond bytes. Lisa
