      In earlier messages I asked about Double Click Software and
whether or not anyone knew about a program for the Mac that does
background file transfer with Kermit protocol.  In the event the latter
didn't exist, I was intending to ask the people at Double Click whether
or not Shadow could be modified somehow to work for the Mac.
Well, I'm now giving up my search and I'd like to thank all who
responded to me via email and via the net.  I finally found a program
called "background downloader" at a local Mac users group and an
upgraded version of this on Genie called "background delta+2"...this
discovery was accelerated by Bob Retelle's note to the net.  This
program is supposed to allow downloading of files via Xmodem in the
background...I say "supposed to" because as Bob Retelle suspected, both
versions crashed the Sac :-(.  Could someone try them with Spectre128
and let me know how they do?...even if they work, I still need support
for Kermit, not Xmodem.
Thanks once again to all.  I guess this just wasn't meant to be. --Gerry
