[comp.sys.atari.st] Transferring files.

Hello Chris Edington.

Whether you need to just unARC those files, depend on whether they are UUEncoded
or what. If they are, then read my other reply Re: UUE. which I sent.

I can send you the documentation for the ARC.TTP program if you want it. Either
reply direct to me or to the digest.

I would offer more help, but as yet, I have not been very successful with
getting anything out of BITNET. What server are you using, and what commands
do you use. I have sent the following commands in a subjestless and without a
disclaimer (See below) and I still get errors.

INDEX INFO-A16            or             index info-a16
INDEX PROG-A16            or             index prog-a16

and I get the return mail saying that both these lists are unknown by the
LISTSERV.

Any comments other than those requesting for ARC documentation, please send to
the digest.

Thanks,

Gilbert.

Hello again,
        Does anyone know about transferring files from bitnet to ST.  I am
trying to get files from the PROG-a16 and what I am going to do is upload the
files to my vax account.  Then transfer the files to a 3 1/2 disk on an IBM pc
using kermit on the vax.  Will I then just have to unarc the files using ARC.TTP

on my st or what do I have to do?  Please help???????
