I have a problem with transferring files other than ascii text files from a Unix system to my Mac Plus. I am trying to transfer a bitmap which is supposed to be in MacPaint format on my Unix system (it is an X11 bitmap converted to macp format using pbmplus). If I use kermit, and transfer the file in binary (by setting "file type binary" on the server and setting binary on the Mac), the file transfers ok but MacPaint doesn't recognize it as a MacPaint file and therefore wont open it. Is there some way to set the file type, or is there something else I need to do? Any e-mail help would be appreciated. Brian A. Carb (bcarb@ksp.unisys.com) Unisys Knowledge Systems Paoli, PA
