[comp.sys.mac.comm] The Impossible Download.

  I just spent all of my money on a new Macintosh Classic!! WOW, now I
can get all kinds of programs from ftp!!  Well, First of all, I only
have a 1200 baud modem with a RS232 jack, no way to plug that in to
the 8-pin minicircular mode jack on the mac (I am yet to play with pin
outs) but after I get that going I the only communication program is
MicroSoft Works (V 2.0), and I had problems with it before in Xmodem
Data mode.
  So I thought great, I will just bring the mac into the lab for a few
day to get it going.  We have the IBM PC at the lab, I thought great,
I can use a PC as a terminal to get to our suns FTP to a site, get
what I want, xmodem it to a IBM disk and use the neat program that came
with the Macintosh, Apple File Exchange (V 1.1.4) and up load it from the
IBM disk.  This was great, I thought, but the Apple File Exchange
program put its own header on.  Anybody know how I can get programs
down to it?
  Here are all of the mac programs I have to use so I can download
better programs:

                        MacTools (V 6.3)
                        REDIT (V 1.2)
                        ResEdit (V 1.1b3)
                        Fedit Plus (V 1.07)

  Now, don't laugh if the version numbers come from the stone age,
That is why I wish to ftp things. If anybody wrote anything in basic
that might be able to help me, I do have have version 2.00 of
microsoft basic, and also ,of course, hypercard (V 2.0).  Any ideas?
