- BART and the archive is fine. I use it quite often.
- However, the archive is not the place to put files that are created by
- applications by any individual user. What I mean is that ASP files
- (digitized sounds) may be interesting to some users, but shouldn't be
- archived. Pictures created by (insert favorite art program here)
- shouldn't be archived either. Music files. Special purpose templates for
- spreadsheets. And a lot of other things that I can't seem to think of
- right at the moment. Anything that is trivial (but neat) should be posted.
- There should be no problem with uuencoding/decoding since that is the way
- you get things from BART anyway. What is the difference? I get files
- from BART on my 386, uudecode them and transfer them to my Atari with the
- "util" program for MYDOS double density format. Works every time.
- Where does the corruption come from?
