to matthew zank and mr neubauer: you can ftp to SIMTEL20.arpa through your unix machines and do a "cd" to directory "PD1:<CPM>" then do a "dir" to get the current file names for the indexs to all the cpmug. i think the current file is named "PD1:<cpm>files.idx", you will have to do a "get" to bring it back to your unix system. this file will show you which files are ascii and which are binary. before doing a get on a binary file you must enter "type tenex" and if switching back "type ascii" for ascii files. after you have the files you want in your unix account you can use (i do) "umodem -s?" where ?=b for binary and t for ascii to send them to your cpm machine. i use xmodem on my heath h89. if you have any more questions feel freee to send me email. alex bodnar, KA 3 CIM
