To all:
I'm a newcomer to this mailing list and this is the first I've heard
of these two programs. Would someone please tell me:
1. Their purpose
2. Instructions for use
3. Means of decoding
From what I've read, I assume that if you want to send a program of some st over this network, you might send it encoded (so it appears as text and easier to transmit as data?). Then you must decode to run it. The way I'm tied in to
this network, I can only -read- a file in ascii, not copy it direct to disk;
such as in an xmodem download from a bbs. I would like to try some of the programs that are available on score.stanford.edu, but when I get them, they all
start with lines of roughly the same length all beginning with 'M'.
Anyway, can somebody shed some light on this gap in my data bank?
