[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] FTPing stacks

pefsnsr@nmtsun.nmt.edu (Paul E Ford) (11/10/89)

	Once again I come to you with an FTP problem.  I finally managed to
FTP to apple.com and located the q+a stack.  After I set the mode of transfer
to binary, I attempt to get the file but FTP tells me that the stack is a plain
file and stops the transfer.  Can someone PLEASE help me?

Thanks,

--Paul

It IS a plain (ASCII text) file.  It needs to be run through BinHex
and [Un]StuffIt to turn it into the stack.
