Here's a question for the Net-Gurus: (I hope it's not something obvious! =)
I transfer quite a bit of stuff via Anonymous FTP. Since my Mac isn't
connected to the Internet, I do all my transfer at work - which are
unfortunately IBM PS/2's. (But at least they're on the Internet! :)
It's not that big a deal, since I just bring the floppies home, and use
Apple File Exchange to transfer everything to the Mac. However, there
is a lengthy process involved in transfering all this stuff:
(1) Run A.F.E.
(2) Run BinHex 5.0 on all the files just transferred, to convert them to
their proper type on the Mac. (I probably should mention most of the
stuff I get comes from 'rascal', which has binary files, and not Bin-
Hex'd files...)
(3) Run StuffIt and unstuff (or BinHex 4.0, if necessary) any files I just
transferred.
What I'd LIKE to be able to do is have A.F.E. do the conversion from Mac-
Binary on the fly, so instead of the generic "document" icon I usually get,
instead have it be a StuffIt or Compactor file.
Is there any easy way to do this? Is there a P.D. translator to do this?
Any leads/info/suggestions would be appreciated. Reply via mail; I'll
summarize to c.s.m.comm.
