- [You don't say what kind of files or where they reside (VAX or other
- platform)]
-
- Sorry, VAXmail is a dinosaur... you must create a uuencoded file and
- manually edit into your message. The recipient must then uudecode it. If
- you can't do that then you must convert your document (if, indeed, it *is*
- a document) to plain ASCII (also known as a text file).
-
- If, however, both of you are on VMS systems and *if* you both have JNET
- software, then just SEND/FILE/VMS <filename> <username@BitnetSite> from one
- site to the other. That works with any VAX/VMS file.
-
- Hope that helps,
- Philip
