I need help.  Please email the response, if you have the time,
as I'm still new and tend to get lost on the big net...   :-(
Anyway, I just downloaded a file and I can't seem to get it to
work (it's application data, a GIF file).  I think it is in
ascii format and needs to be converted to binary.  What do
I need in order to make files I download from the Internet usable?
Help!  ::ack::  ::grateful mode in advance::
Thanks for any assistance anyone will provide.
