Ok, here's my problem. I use bitftp from the princeton site, select BINARY and GET a file called xxx.lzh. I then cat the pieces and remove the headers. Next I run uudecode on a unix system on the file. I get the file I want, but how do I download this to my amiga at home? I have an amiga and a Telebit T1000 modem that I use to dial onto the unix system at work. I am using AmigaTerm as my terminal emulator. I have used this set up to download text files (turn on buffer, cat file, turn off buffer). This doesn't work for binary. Is there some way to download these xxx.lzh files using my set up, or do I need a program to uudecode the files on my amiga? And if so, where can I get it (without downloading a binary). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kevin Fultz UUCP: kevinf@crg1.sequent.com

Does anybody know of any PD terminal programs that support Z-Modem? I have been using vt100 (on comp.sources/binaries.amiga) and it supports Kermit well! It would be nice if it could also support Z-Modem. Has anybody seen source to this protocol, or any term programs that use it? - Thanks. > If you have only a 7-bit connection, you will need to do something > different.

One important note, if you are sending binary files via kermit, you may need to give the command "SET FILE TYPE BINARY" to kermit before the SEND or RECEIVE command. (Also, if using vt100, select the "Image" menu item, rather than "Text"). Deron E. Meranda ( meranda@cis.ohio-state.edu )
