[comp.sys.mac.misc] Downloading through an IBM compatible

rs54@cunixf.cc.columbia.edu (Richard Sucgang) (04/03/91)

Okay, here is my dilemma.  The mainframe here is hooked up to the
286 as a terminal.  Therefore, if I ftp somewhere, and try to download
something, it'll have to be to the pc. Strategy employed: ftp to sumex,
get desired binhexed file, list on screen while capturing to a file (
presumably a straight ascii file), translate with Apple File Exchange
in the IIcx, and undecode with Stuffit 1.5. No success.  I have tried this
three times, each time the file seems to lack resource forks.

Anything I am doing wrong? (BTW, I enter MS Word, edited out everything
beyond the terminating "::"'s, and saved as text.  Icon appears during
deBinhexing, but unable to launch application)

Any help?  Please?
