Now that I know to only download those .HQX files I have successfully downloaded something, and when I loaded the BinHex program, only the file type part was a corrupted string and not the creator part. However, the creator part _WAS_ still a garbled text string. <sigh> So, I went back to DOS and used the MS-DOS type command to look at the file, and discovered that it scrolled up instead of running straight across like it is supposed to. :) (yes, it is supposed to run across the screen even on an MS-DOS machine, I know this because I encoded a EXECUTOR file from within executor and checked it <G>) Ok, so now that I know exactly what the problem is, how can I change it to proper line termination if a am using an MS-DOS machine? Thanks, again. This MAC stuff is actually quite fun (if a little frustrating <G>). ||||| Jesse D. Sightler ||||| BTW- When I start downloading from FTP sites, should I use ASCII mode with these .HQX files or BINARY? From what I've heard here I should use ASCII, but I wanna make sure, before I go off and fight Midnet into sending me some uncorrupted data. <G>
