Is there a dial-in number for SIMTEL or any BBS that has ALL Cimtel files (Royal Oaks?)? Reasons: BITFTP@PUCC has not been very good at logging on to Simtel I need to do some "exploring," making BITFTP impractical I need a file that is NOT accessible throlugh Trickle/ListServ i.e., (hold your breath) I need a Macintosh (gasp!) program muy pronto that can read an IBM-PC (gasp!) program. Truth is, I need to transfer a paper I wrote on my QX-10 to the Mac's at work... and the only computer that I have access to wthat has both 51/4 and 3-1/2 drives is a PC... Or, I will have to wait till I am rich enough to buy a fast modem (the document is quite long). See, there is a good reason for all this... Thnx in Advns!!! -John P.S. I posted this message on INFO-IBMPC once, but nobody replied. I can't subscribe to IBMPC because the digests are too long to be useful on my 300-Baud'er. I bet they had quite a conversation about it over there, too... too bad I missed it. Lucky me...

Put your sender and sendee together and connect them with a null modem cable and xfr and whatever max speed the systems will accept. "Everything works if you let it!" --- Travis J.
