GIF files are BINARY - make sure you have eight-bit-quoting ON on both
machines, or use XMODEM protocol (Kermit 3.83 and up have XMODEM
protocol as an option)...
Also, if yo have the current version of SHRConvert, APPLE-mouse_click
should recover what was converted - if it looks wavy and distorted, you
have accidentally uploaded in 7-bit mode...

good luck!
