- Hmm, I thought of this also, but I have re-downloaded the plugin and the
- sample .bmc files (using binary transfer), and am still getting the same
- error. I select the bml-rt plugin, up pops a file selector box, I click
- on one of the bmc files, and up pops the error message box complaining
- about problems with the "Magic number", (sorry can't remember the exact
- error message off the top of my head). This is using the NT version of
- LW4.0c on Win95 with 16Mb memory.
-
-
- Any ideas?

-
- Just off the top of my head, are you transferring the *.bmc files using
- ASCII or binary protocol?
-
- BMC files are *binary*, unlike their parent BML files which are *ASCII*.
- You
- must use *binary* transfer mode when downloading the BMC files, or they
- will
- be corrupted.
-
- I have personally download the plugin and several BMC files, and they run
- just fine under Windows NT and Windows 95.
