Still more problems D/L'ing.:)



Tim,
 
THANX VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!!  Now that I know to only download those
.HQX files I have successfully downloaded something, and when I loaded the
BinHex program, only the file type part was a corrupted string and not the
creator part.  However, the creator part _WAS_ still a garbled text string.
<sigh>  So, I went back to DOS and used the MS-DOS type command to look at
the file, and discovered that it scrolled up instead of running straight
across like it is supposed to.  :)  (yes, it is supposed to run across the
screen even on an MS-DOS machine, I know this because I encoded a EXECUTOR
file from within executor and checked it <G>)
 
Ok, so now that I know exactly what the problem is, how can I change it to
proper line termination if a am using an MS-DOS machine?
 
Thanks, again.  This MAC stuff is actually quite fun (if a little
frustrating <G>).

BTW-  When I start downloading from FTP sites, should I use ASCII mode with
      these .HQX files or BINARY?  From what I've heard here I should use
      ASCII, but I wanna make sure, before I go off and fight Midnet into
      sending me some uncorrupted data.  <G>
