This issue was brought to our attention by Melanie Watson from CMAC Industries
in Creedmoor, NC. 

This issue will probably be true for any interconnect between Harbinger and Geis
regardless of the partner.

Problem
-------

I just wanted to update you on a problem we had in receiving 
transactions from Nortel.  When I tried to receive the 997 transactions 
into they wouldn't load.  When looking at the information received it looked 
like it is sent wrapped and there was an un-readable 
end of line character.


Solution
--------

I spoke with Harbinger and they looked at the transaction and said there 
was a hex85 character at the end of each line.

Nortel uses Geisco as a VAN, Geisco automatically adds a hex85 character 
to the end of each line (even though this is not standard in EDI).  
Harbinger can remove the hex85 character for all transactions received 
in our account from Geisco.  The information now loads into the EDI 
module without any problems.

Another solution would be to update the data translation file in Cleo to 
strip the unwanted hex85.
