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 thorn@godot.radonc.unc.edu

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. -dan <-----------------------------------------------------------------> < Dan McMichael | Email: dan@mvaxcs1.cse.nau.edu | I was > < Northern Arizona U.----------------------------------- possessed > < Flagstaff, | "I thought we were an autonomous| when I > < Arizona | collective." -Monty Python | said it. > <----------------------------------------------------------------->
