This may seem like a simple question, however I would really appreciate it if someone could explain the following : After I have FTPed some files (say some *.ARC files from Simtel-20 for a IBM-PC) how do I convert these *.ARC files from the system into usable *.EXE or *.COM files that I can use on my PC? I know there must be some conversion that takes place, but where is the file converted, on the system or on the PC? And even if those *.ARC files are converted after they have been downloaded into a PC, what method do you use to download it in the first place? Kermit, Xmodem? What is the "typical" procedure that one usually follows? Any info would be appreciated. Thanx in advance. C. Yamamoto ARPA : CYAMAMOTO%GUMBY%USC-ECL.ARPA -------
