The problem with FTP transfers is that you want binary transfer, since there are just text files. In the ftp program, you can specify that you want to do a binary transfer. You do this by typing 'binary', once you are in the ftp program and connected. Another problem area is transferring files from your friendly UNIX machine to your trusty Atari, via modem. If you use kermit to transfer your files, you also need to specify binary transfers, otherwise kermit does some weird carraige return/line feed translation between the UNIX and the Atari. -Nick Kline =========================== |Hey, I'm just some guy...| |Nick Kline!arizona.edu | ===========================
