Hope you get this. I've been using Red Ryder for downloading the files from the Unix here at OSU after stripping all the header information, footers too. Then combining all the sections into one when applicable. Then I send the file thru Kermit. You need to make sure the strip line feeds option is on, don't know if other comm progs have it or not. Then it should be easily converted by binhex. I'm using 5.0. After this point you will either have an application or an archived file. IF archived you will need to use "shrink to fit" if it is type .sit, and "Packit" if it is type .pac. These are the most common types. There may also be a combination of these. Mostly they are .sit, being the new favorite. To get these progs, most BBS's should have them, or you'll need them sent to you, I could try if you like, send me mail if you can. machine.cs.orst.edu.ladder.strausd (I think? or somthing like that)
