[comp.sys.apple2] FTPing from Tybalt

picard@nro.cs.athabascau.ca (Benoy Koshy) (03/18/91)

I noticed that all the files on Tybalt were of the form .bsq.  Which
is a binscii version of a shrinkit 3.x.x file.  Now I was instructed to
get the binscii.exe file and execute it from basic.  I did so, but I
was at a loss at to what file type to assign the file...which file type
should I use?  I used SYS but I think that is incorrect...any help
would be appreciated.

Well, I'm not too sure about this but I THINK .bsq is a SQueezed file, to be
unSQueezed with ShrinkIt.  When you download the BINSCII.EXE file, specify TXT
as the file type then from basic type EXEC BINSCII.EXE and it will create the
BinSCII SYS file.
