You can get a converter on Compact Pro 1.33 which is available as shareware. Check it out with a local Mac users group. When you run Compact Pro, you will find the converter under the "Misc" menu. Remember to send the file from the server to your mac as a binary file. Once you get the file to your home computer, convert it with Compact Pro. Good luck. -- Paul Rousseau INTERNET roussea@uwindsor.ca St. Clair Beach "It's too bad ignorance isn't Ontario, Canada painful." -anonymous
