Please help !
Could someone give explicit directions on decoding, downloading,
and de-arcing binaries and sources from FTP archive-servers?

I am using the current version of GULAM (1.03.04.05) with its
terminal emulator running XMODEM.   I also have the most recent
version of UUE and UUD.  My host machine at the University is
running BSD4.3.   

Files which require the ST version of uudecode seem to work alright..
But when i have to concatenate split binaries on the host machine
... uuedecode them, and then download, de-arc them ... i often 
get bad header errors  or the docs are good but the program bombs...

An explicit explanation of the proceedure in downloading a file
received from an FTP site onto an ST and getting a program to run
would be immensely appreciated as I have been frustrated for 
several months watching great programs slip through my fingers.

Posting to the net may help others who are in a similar bind.
Also, the address for the server in mich ?

Thanks in advance.
