Hey! I'm trying to download GIF's from my account to my Mac using Kermit. I've tried every possible mode (so I believe), but when I try to load them up with VisionLab, it gives me an error, saying that the file is an invalid GIF file. What am I doing wrong? And no, these files are not BinHex'd. They are the raw GIF data...

So, when you ftp, you have to set binary or tenex. Then do a binary kermit transfer to your Mac. That should work. -Ace Univeristy of the National Champion Wolverines
