A few months ago there was a flurry of postings (flames) about Workbench 1.3.2 being on compuserve and bix, but not usenet. As a workaround, I am going to ask a friend on compuserve (not an amigoid) to download it for me. What information do I have to give her about where to find it? If that fails (ie she says no) I have this startup coupon for bix. What do I need to know there, so I don't blow the whole 15 bucks before I figure out how to transfer it? Is Kermit the appropriate program to use? Please respond by mail. If I get requests, I will post the answers. -don perley perley@trub.crd.ge.com
