Go to your authorized Apple dealer with your master diskette for MacTerminal and ask for an upgrade. It will probably be free, though this will vary from dealer to dealer. Under MacTerminal 2.x, the procedure for using macput is as follows: 1. put MacTerminal into 'MacTerminal 1.1' file transfer mode 2. use xbin to create the .data, .rsrc, and .info files. 3. type 'macput file'. 4. voila. --------- Byron Han - Apple Computer Inc - 20525 Mariani Ave MS 27Y - Cupertino, CA 95014 "These are my opinions and views only.
