This is not true. One of the major uses of export/import is transferring
data between platforms. The .dmp file is a propritary format that can not
be read by an ascii editor (notepad, vi, etc.). When transferring files
between different OS's, be sure to use ftp in a binary mode. Export/Import
is a great tool for transferring data...
