I have a few questions I hope someone can help me with: 1) What is a good binary transfer program between the Mac and UNIX machines? The computer I am connected to has a program called "xmodem" but I can't seem to get it to work with White Knight (11.02). There's always Kermit, but it is PAINFULLY slow. I've heard of macget/macput, but have been unable to find the source code for it to compile on the Vax. I am looking for anything xmodem- like, but would prefer some of the newer, sexier protocols like YMODEM or ZMODEM. 2) I have been able to catch snipets about a problem with Quantum 40 meg hard disks. Since I have joined the net only a few weeks ago, I think I missed the bulk of the thread, could someone please post a synopsis of the symptoms/solutions since I have been having some problems with my HD40. Thanks! Sam Hahn Harvard-MIT Div. Health Sci. & Tech. INTERNET: shahn@hstbme.mit.edu

1. Does anyone know of an EASY (stressing the word...) way to take a
MacPaint or Pixelpaint document and use it in the MS-DOS version
of WordPerfect 5.1? PC programs like Autosketch (yes, it's bought :-)
don't cut it for good graphics.
2. Here's a point for you revenue counters to ponder. I'll admit it- I
pirate the occasional piece of software. However, 99% of what I have
pirated are things that I would never have bought anyway (cheap, lousy
games, beta tests of comm programs, etc). If I do like it, I buy it
anyway. I don't see how a company is losing any money if I never would
have been a customer in the first place. It's not like I work for
a company and must buy a product (or somehow get it) to keep my job
what I buy is for my own use, and if I don't buy it, then
nothing happens.
