I have been having problems with getting demos to run. I go to the ftp sites and get a game from them to my unix account. Then, using MacKermit version 8 or 9, I download it to my cutting edge hard drive. Afterwards, I convert the downloaded file with BinHex 5.0 to an application. I try running it after the conversion and only get a message that says that the application is missing or busy. I have a SE with 1 meg, and use system v.6.0.7. Can anyone help me out? I've tried this with pararena, solarian, robowars, and etc... everyone of them does the same thing. Do I need BinHex 4.0? Does it matter that I use 5.0? I'd very much appreciate any help. Thanks in advance. Jaxon.

Thanks in advance. The files are usually compressed in a format created by a package called Stuffit. You should be able to get this on your campus. That should do the trick. --> Rob

Thank you all who replied to my question about how to ftp. Your suggestions have worked wonderfully. Thank you again. One more question through... How does one ftp a program with two parts? Do you have to go to an editor and put them together before you de-binhex them? Any help is greatly appreciated. Jaxon.
