G'day all, I've just picked up a 'station for the house, and have a couple of questions. 1) Is it possible for me to take a generic 1.44 floppy and 'tar' data off of my SCO box at work and be able to read it on my 'station? 2) A friend has a Sun 3/50, and we were wondering if it is possible to compile code on his machine and bring the binaries over to mine. (Being as he has a 700 Meg Fuji and a C compiler and I don't...yet) I'm talking "generic" utilities like Gnu tar, kermit, perl maybe... 3) If I can't use those binaries, is there a way for someone without direct access to the net to get some of the binaries I mentioned above for my machine? (I've only got access to uunet, and I don't know if they have NeXT binaries floating around up there or not). Thanks for any information, Will Please E-Mail, I'll summarize. uunet!la4gen!villy P.S. This is coming through mail to ohio-state. If you can read this, then I guess "Hope it gets there" is redundant...
