(you'll get garbage) ALWAYS use tenex mode when transferring 8-bit binary files. If the two computers decide that tenex is equivalent to binary because they are compatible enough, then they will use binary. But let them decide. Also, on our ftp system you need to use mget, not get, for filenames with wildcards. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Randy Spangler | The less things change, the | | rspangle@jarthur.claremont.edu | more they remain the same | --------------------------------------------------------------------------
