I'm finding the section in the man pages for trn rather uninformative about what the "extract to directory" command is used for, and how. If I understand correctly, I should be able to use it to automatically run postings on comp.binaries.mac through mcvert (to convert the binhex data to MacBinary). But typing "e | mcvert" at the end of such a post gets an error message, saying that the file type can't be determined. What am I doing wrong, or am I trying to do something which can't be done using this command? I've had equally little success trying to accomplish the same thing with the save to pipeline command. -- ---- Seth Tisue USMail: c/o Plaster Cramp Press ---- (tisu@midway.uchicago.edu) P.O.
