- I'm new to FTP land, and I recently logged on to sumex-aim.stanford.edu in
- hopes of downloading rinaldi-externals-20.hqx. I tried choosing MacBinary
- format, and then doing a "get rinaldi-externals-20.hqx", but it told me
- that the file was not in MacBinary format. I changed the format to straight
- binary, and successfully loaded a 600+ K "document" onto my Mac hardrive.
- Unfortunately, I couldn't figure what to do with this monster. Was this
- supposed to be a Hypercard stack? Am I supposed to know what to do with it?
- What did I do wrong?
-
- Thanks,
