I was downloading a big batch of binhexed files from my Unix acct to my
Mac when I first encountered the system error -37. I looked this up in
all my references and could only glean this very descriptive explanation:
bad name. What the hell?
The thing that really vexes me is that I get this intermittently, and I
can't find a pattern. I would use Xmodem (Y mode) and kermit on Unix,
and I got this error for both! My Mac would receive a bunch of files
properly in the batch, and then out of the blue I'd get this message, 
and my transfer aborts. PLEASE HELP!

Please reply via e-mail; I just don't have enough time to go thru
the entire newsgroup. Thanks a lot!
