The best way to get these .ARC files from umich is to FTP them (binary) to the UNIX machine. If you have an IBM PC on the network, simply FTP the files directly to the 3.5" disk on the IBM -- the Atari can read this disk directly and un-arc the file. I have been successful this way. It is not necessary for UMICH to uuencode its files. This would not be desirable since uuencode increases the size of the file by about 35%, meaning longer transfer times and more disk space consumed on UMICH (and less space for the programs). If you need to, it is best to uuencode the file after the ftp, then use Kermit to get it to the Atari and uudecode it there. ------- David Rubin | INTERNET: RUBIN@graf.poly.edu Polytechnic University | BITNET: RUBIN@POLYGRAF Brooklyn, NY |
