        Hello out there. I was wondering if anybody could help me with
a problem that I have. I recently got access to both macOberon and the
MLP public domain version of Modula-2 at the Apple server, so I thought I'd
take a look at them. I used the BITFTP server at Princeton to FTP to Apple
(because I'm on a VAX system running VMS). I set the transfer mode to BINARY
FIXED 512 (so that I would not choke the VAX - it doesn't like buffers longer
thatn 512 bytes). The files got sent to me in many little pieces that needed
to be reassembled by a program called BITRCV. I didn't have that, but through
pluck, perserverance, and hard work got myself a copy. I received the files. I
am now attempting to transfer the .hqx files over to a Macintosh so that I can
use them. The file I am using to make the transfer is Kermit, a standard VAX
version on the VAX, and Mac Kermit version 0.98(62) for the Macintosh. Whenever
I attempt to decode the binHex files on the Mac (using StuffIt), I cannot be-
cause somehow the files have been corrupted. My pet theory is that the files
need to be RECEIVED in a binary format, and BITRCV doesn't do that, or some-
thing. Is there anything any of you can do for me? I'd really like to get my
hands on this software and I'm clueless as to what's going on. I would greatly
appreciate any help any of you could give me. If I did something wrong in the
process of receiving them, is there any way I can fix this? Send any responses
to me at NORVELL@KNOX.BITNET. The sooner the better (impatient youth!).
