	SAVE BINHEX!!  Although many networks support 8-bit binary down
loads, I frequently find myself having to download from a host over a
terminal server/ modem / local area netword that does not support 8-bit
transfers.  Here at the University of Virginia, we have an Ungerman-Bass
LAN which will not pass ^S, ^P and who knows what else without an escape
character, and 2400 baud dial-up modems that wil not pass ^S at all.
As long as something is BINHEX'ed, this is not a problem. (BINHEX is also
great for mailing binaries)
