Well, I just tried HyperFTP, by Douglas Hornig (dug@cornellc.cit.cornell.edu). HyperFTP is a hypercard stack (with a major amount of XCMDs from Apple and elsewhere, as far as I can tell) that is an ftp client. I am suitably impressed. I will probably use it from now on to ftp files back and forth. While I haven't benchmarked its throughput, I am very impressed with the interface - simple, easy, and it works. One of the neatest features is this an option to display a file right in hyerpcard. So, you can display a readme or catalogue file without having to ftp, get out, and open it in a word processor. Kudos to Doug for such a neat piece of software, and to Doug and Cornell (and lots of other people, like Apple) for putting it out there for use to use!!!! That's the spirit! Rob

OK, I forgot to tell you where HyperFTP can be found - the usual spot, of course, on host sumex-aim.stanford.edu, /info-mac/comm/hyperftp-11.hqx Now stop sending mail to Doug about where to get it. Rob
