Any suggestions? > > -- Ari Zymelman There is a program floating around somewhere in net-land that will allow you to download the .uue file to your pc and then uudecode it into a working file. Our pyramid system here only supports 7 bit file transfers so it has been a Godsend for me. You may be able to find it on the comp.binaries.ibmpc group. If not, drop me a line and I'll mail it to you. It also includes a routine to uuencode a file before uploading to a system. -Richard Dervan -- Richard Dervan - Office of Computing Services Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!ccoprrd ARPA: ccoprrd@pyr.ocs.gatech.edu
