I have been trying to get programs from terminator.cc.umich.edu
and transfer them to my ST.  I have no problem with using ftp
from my unix account on my university's mainframe, but am having
a devil of a time transferring the binaries from my unix account
to my ST.  I am using ST-Talk Pro, which has all sorts of different
file transfers (except Kermit, unfortunately).

I am attempting to do the transfer by simply listing the binary
code on the screen, and turning on one of ST-Talk Pro's capture
buffers to capture the code.  However, there is so much garbage
trasferred due to the binary code being listed on the screen that
ST-Talk Pro freaks out and locks up.  There _must_ be an easier
and saner method of transferring files from a mainframe to the ST.

If anyone has any suggestions, I would be more than grateful to
hear them.

	Thanx in advance,
