Has anyone out there succesfully transeferred TEXT only files from ST disks to MAC disks using Spectre GCR's Transverter Program? The file transfers and shows up but looks like a bunch of junk to any Mac Application. Even when you tell the more intelligent ones like MS-Word that this is a TEXT only file it still looks like gobbledy gook. Any advice? Matt Melton melton@mcnc.org

I have successfully transferred binhex files (from comp.sources.mac) which I downloaded on the ST to Spectre and extracted the Mac binaries with Stuffit 1.5.1, so the problem is not with the transfer, it is with the applications you are using. -- William Silvert, Habitat Ecology Division, Bedford Inst. of Oceanography P.
