Thanks to all who replied about transferring MAC pictures to a
PC (ugh).
I used RedRyder (9.2 w/out documentation :-() and XMODEM to a PC running
Innovative Systems' SMART Communications Package and it seemed to work fine.
I copied both MacPaint and MacDraw files -- and used MacView (from
BIX via Boeing) to look at the Paint stuff. Haven't found anything yet
to diddle with the Draw files.
I did run into a slight problem trying to use KERMIT -- which is why I
switched to XMODEM (and limited the PC's I could access).
It seems that the KERMIT we have (RedRyder and 1.1C on the PC) didn't want
to transfer Paint or Draw documents at all -- the headers would go over fine
and then I would start getting errors with the first data block. But, an
all text file transferred perfectly. It has been mentioned that maybe we
were only using KERMIT configured for 7 bit transfers -- that would
explain why text files make it but not the others. In anycase I don't
know how to reconfigure either version --.
but thanks again for all the help.
