Hi Netters,
I am having trouble downloading files from our UNIX server at school
to my mac at home. Is any one out there doing this successfully?
I got mcvert, unsit, macbinary, and zmodem from the sumex archive. I
successfully (I think) compiled all these programs and here's what I
do:
1) use mcvert to convert the *.hqx files to *.sit.bin files
2) use unsit to unstuff the *.sit.bin files.
3) use macbinary to get a binary file out of the unstuffed files.
All is well at this point. But when I log on to the server from home
and try to send the file using the zmodem protocal, I cannot get
anything through- the command sz (part of zmodem) sends a 1024 byte
block through the modem, White Knight automatically picks it up, and
then the whole thing just hangs there. Nothing more comes through the
phone line...
What am I doing wrong? I can still use text capture to download the
.hqx files and do the decoding and unstuffing on the Mac but that's
painfully slow 70% of the time. Any pointer to the right direction
is greatly appreciated.
Oh, the hardware/software used here are SPARCStation 1 running SunOS
4.0.3c and Mac IIcx running System 6.0.5 and White Knight 11.0

I'd like to know how to compile those unix .shar files unsit and "the other file that changes the unstuffed fragmented files to Macbinarys" Assume minimal Unix experience in giving instructions. Walter Duque
