I have transfered MacPaint files to PC by using kermit, but I haven't (yet) managed to do it in the other direction. Also text files are a pain to transfer thus, I can get them onto the Mac and then convert using MacWrite //, but I haven't been able to do that the other way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Mc Auley , Mathematical Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. --------------------------+---------------------------------------------------- AKA pmcauley@maths.tcd.ie |-Daddy,Daddy, What's a vampire?

Be sure to set transfer mode to binary on both Kermits before sending the files. The following command has worked for me: MS-KERMIT>set file type binary Hope it helps! -- +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+ | David Rackley | | | Applied Research Laboratories | "Say what?

Also text files are a pain to transfer To get a macpaint file back onto the macintosh, you'll have to edit the file type and creator (which are stored in the header for mac files). There are a few ways to do this, but the easiest way is to use mactools, or a similar program which allows one to edit this information... This is true whether you are using kermit to transfer the files, or the apple file exchange program. Hope this helps, Brian Oppy oppyb@nyssa.cs.orst.edu
