- I recently logged on the FTP site seq.uncwil.edu.
- To my surprise, I found out the stuffs in games directory
- was in ASCII form, while goodies in Graphics directory
- are in binary form. Well, can someone tell me does it
- matter which mode (ASCII/binary) you use when DL files from
- FTP? I mean, does it matter if I use ASCII mode to DL a
- binary file from FTP, then use binary mode to get it on my
- HP48SX?
- BTW, I finally got the Tron installed by get the
- binary form. Thanks to many one who answer to my question.
- I just don't get people don't UL stuff use binary form to FTP.
- Anyway, I feel the urgent need to get a RAM card. IF any one
- has a used RAM card they want to sell, please E-MAIL me.
- Thank you very much!
