        In my previous posting, I stated that while doing FTP transfers to my
ST I had binary mode set all the way except on Uniterm. Needless, to say I 
expected and got a lot of responses saying that there is no way I can transfer
a binary file without having binary mode set on Uniterm also. Well, here's my
response to that one:
	For the past month or so, I had been unsuccessfully trying to transfer 
Arc-ed files to my ST with binary mode set on Uniterm (as well as everywhere
else). The only response I kept getting was BAD CHK errors on Uniterm. Then,
one time I accidentally forgot to enable binary mode on Uniterm, and lo & 
behold it was transferring!!
        Since that time, I have successfully transferred AND de-ARCed many 
files from both ATARINET and comp.binaries.atari.st (which, by the way Howard
Chu, are all UUEncoded) WITH BINARY MODE DISABLED! However, I can only transfer
but not de-arc the FTP .ARC files this way (Yes, I've tried binary on for these
too).
        Now, I don't want a lot of responses back saying that I must be crazy
or that I'm not doing what I think I'm doing, because two other ST owners at 
Cornell have done the same thing.
        We were also contemplating the idea that perhaps Cornell uses some non-
standard software (which they tend to like to do) on their mainframe system,
which would cause this whole strange scenario. Any thoughts on this one?
