When someone says he has posted a program to comp.binaries.atari.st, just what does that mean? Where is it? How does on access it? Is it accessible from arpanet? I've been reading these newsletters for many months and don't remember that information ever appearing. In fact, the whole question of hosts and archives and other communications esoterica seems to be a constant source of confusion to most of us, note the constant pleas for addresses that work and how do I get something from there to me. Is there any way that the rules for those able to receive this can be written down in one place so we know what can and what cannot be done. I'm getting tired of magic. Thanks for any help, Herb Goertzel .

I know the answers to some of your questions, and have some others. I am here at Carnegie Mellon (University) in Pittsburgh, and we have, on our mainframe, a folder labeled ext.nn.comp.binaries.atari.st. I can read the messages here. They seem to consist of files that are put in message form. I have gotten online with the ST, and downloaded the file from the message, and laboriously cleaned it. But I cannot seem to get it to work. I have ARC, which is a program for the ST (and PC as well) that allows you to compress and decompress files to great extent. But ARC doesn't like the file. I think it is encoded in a second way. I believe that this way is UUE, although I do not know what it is, what it does, or why anyone would want to encode something twice. If anybody out there has any info on any of the points, please send me mail. I am totally lost. Thanks. -Paul

In order to transmit it over the phone lines, it is UUencoded, so that only "printing" characters are used. -- L. J.
