I have a question for all of you. I need to transfer around a dozen text files back and forth between a unix machine and a Mac. I have no problem transferring them individually, but this is not efficient. Is there any way one can combine/separate a group of files at *both* ends, so that only one file need be transferred? Thanks in advance. Ameet Bhansali (bhansali@sierra.stanford.edu)

Any decent version of Kermit (the terminal program, not the protocol will allow you to batch uploads. You put a batch of files in a folder and then tell it to send everything in the folder. This is probably a better idea than concatenating the files, because it saves you from splitting them on the UNIX side of things. | Pete Gontier, pete@cavevax.ucsb.edu; outgoing .UUCP addresses bounce | Editor: Macker, the online Mac programmer's journal <== coming soon! | Underground BBS: rlogin 128.111.41.100 -l bbs, pseudonyms allowed | This kid is looking for a job: Mac, DOS, C, Pascal, some 68000, 8088

Try Tar for the mac. It will allow you to create Unix Tar files. It also allows you to extract files from a Unix tar file.
