	I have been following this group for a while, and even pulled down some
of the postings to comp.binaries.ibm.pc. The first task was to find the
Extraction Programs, got them. Next step was to extract the newsitems to a file
on the Vax that I use as a remote news machine, items extracted. Next, download
to the p.c. that I use as a vt102 with procomm kermit/ vax kermit, done. Use an
ASCII text file editor (non-word processor type) to edit out header info and
cut where instructions say to cut, Done... At this point, the files should be
ready to pkunzip or arce, but I get Invalid Archive Format on all files/types
that I have tried. A sugestion was made to BIN/HEX the files like what is
needed on a Mac, but I haven't heard of any of these type of programs discussed
in this newsgroup. The resulting file that I am trying to pkunzip or arce is a
readable text file as seen in the postings. Does ANYONE know where the missing
link is??? 
Respond via news or uunet or even phone. 
thanx, Steve
