I would like to DOWNLOAD it while it's >compressed and then de-compress it here on my Mac at home. There is a program at sumex in the info-mac.unix directory named MacCompress... (I think it is maccompress-30.hqx but I'm not sure) that both 'compresses' and 'uncompresses' files. It has an option which decompresses a Unix text file into the Mac text file format (and vice-versa). The sumex file also includes documentation. I use MacCompress frequently for passing files to and from the Unix mainframe I use and I've never had any problems with it. Bob Pugh
