[comp.sys.mac.games] Games from Rascal?

thorn@godot.RadOnc.UNC.EDU (Jesse Thorn) (12/05/90)

Hi,

I am trying to download games from rascal.ics.utexas.edu
(128.83.144.1). These are in "bin" format. I am having no luck
whatsoever.

I am ftping using NCSA Telnet/FTP using binary mode. (Macbinary mode
results in a crc error). After that I am unable to unStuffit.

Anybody able to ftp and unStuffit these files?

Thanks
Jesse Thorn

You need to make sure you set the transfer mode at the site you are
ftp'ing from to binary.  Do this by typing 'binary' before you 
do a get or gets.  Then download it from your local system with
a Macbinary t-fer program (or equivalent) and then unStuffit.
