Since you MAC users have had over a year to do this, I though I would ask you regarding this. What programs both for the MAC and UNIX are being used? What protocals are being used? How has data compression, error checking, binary data, header information and multiple files been handled? What has your experience been in using these programs and protocals? How can things be imporved? I will appreciate any replys that I get. If there is an expressed interest, I will post the interesting responces here in addition to net.micro.atari and net.micro.amiga. Thanks in advance, Tom Granvold (soon to be an Amiga owner) ucbvax!allegra!oliveb!tymix!granvold
