I have: Mac Plus
Red Ryder 9.2
Stuffit 1.5.1
Binhex 5.0
I have an account on a sun running some unknown (to me) version of
unix. I have FTPed some files from sumex-aim and I tried to transfer
them to a mac with Red Ryder's Receive file-ASCII function. However
when I tried unencode the resulting files with stuffit and Binhex it
continually gave me errors like "No check-sum" from binhex and
"unexpected EOF" from stuffit.
Do you have any ideas about what the problem is? Is there another
communications program (preferably PD/SW) that I should use instead?
Thanks, in advance, for any help anyone can provide on this problem.

First, strip any text off the top of the files. Second, use a text editor to merge the subfiles of a given application into a single file with no empty lines between the sections. Be sure to save as text. Then run binhex followed by stuffit. -john rieman@boulder.colorado.edu U. of Colorado

An easier method is to use the "United" shareware application which does the header/trailer text stripping and file concatenation automagically :-) ian -- Ian Hoyle /\/\ Computer Systems Superintendent / / /\ BHP Melbourne Research Laboratories / / / \ 245 Wellington Rd, Mulgrave, 3170 / / / /\ \ AUSTRALIA \ \/ / / / \ / / / Phone : +61-3-560-7066 \/\/\/ ACSnet : ianh@merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au Internet: ianh%merlin.bhpmrl.oz.au@uunet.uu.net

It gives some message about "autoflush" on some files and creates a very broken result.
