- Which file to get between suntar.sit and suntar.uu ?
-
- If you can download the .sit (or .sit.hqx) file to a Mac and extract
- it, get it. Otherwise, if you may download files to a UNIX machine
- with a 3.5" floppy disk drive, get the .uu file: by following the
- instructions and using universally available UNIX tools you may use
- that UNIX disk drive to create a Macintosh disk containing suntar,
- a Mac <-> UNIX communication program, which has the same hardware
- requirements needed to create that disk and is much more reliable
- and easy to use than this first transfer. With suntar, downloading
- anything from UNIX to a Macintosh will no more be a problem.
- By using suntar, to transfer data between a UNIX machine and a Mac
- becomes easy, even in conditions which exclude the most common
- solutions, modems and LANs. And a freeware program requiring as
- extra hardware only a floppy disk is very cheap...
- Suntar and the method to rebuild a Mac disk under UNIX were tried
- with SPARCstations and IBM RISC/6000, but others machines should
- work as well.
