[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Help with binaries

mxh5795%ritcv@cs.rit.edu (340 Ok) (11/13/88)

Hello.

I am new to this group, and would like some help with using binariese
on my computer.  I'm a student at RIT, and we are running BSD 4.3 Un*x.  I 
have gotten several binaries from the net, and I'm stuck as to what to do
next.  I tried to uudecode one, then download it to my PC-compatible with 
kermit.  After uudecoding, the file had a .arc extension.  I tried to use
it on my computer with no luck whatsoever.  What am I doing wrong?  What
should I do with these binaries on the Un*x system?  Any help would be
greatly appreciated.  Please mail to me, or post if you feel it is 
important to the net.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Houwers aka kilroy
