Compuserve have no automatic encoding of binary files at present, though
they are working on it.  You can encode in with Mime or Uuencode.  At
the Compuserve end it will be received as text, and then needs to be
saved and manually decoded.  Advice and software is available through the
UK Helpform (UKHF) and/or the main Helpforum.

You need to agree the method with your correspondent first, give him
time to get the decoding software, and perhaps try a test.

Hopefully before too much longer Mime decoding will be automatic, though
it will be a month or two yet.
