I need to write some files that ONLY contain line feeds. VB seems to insist in adding carriage returns whenever a string is printed, even in binary. Is there any way to supress this automatic feature so a line like this:
print #1, "My text" & vblf
will print without ANY added bytes? Thanks.

Your line is almost ok, except for one little semi-column: try this: print #1, "My text" & vblf;

Use WRITE instead of PRINT

Use binary mode and the PUT statement.
Put #1,,"My text" & vblf

Hi,
try this:
print #1, "My text" & chr$(10)
I'm sure it works
