Please forgive me if you've already received this message. I'm having mail transmission problems. I was wondering if you downloaded a .UUE file. Because the file is encoded it looks like gibberish in WP until it's decoded. You need UUDECODE to "unscramble" the text. I believe this software is distributed as shareware by PKWARE. I haven't used it lately, so forget the exact command sequence. If you don't have the software ask some of your computing support people. I'm sure they have it and can tell you how to use it. ======================================================================= Melodie Lichty Training Specialist SDSU Computing Center Brookings, SD 57007-1598 "Man is the only animal that blushes. 605 688-6137 Or needs to."
