I have tried to ftp stuff from the incoming/amiga directory via Internet, and many of these files come back corrupted. This includes the MED files and the GnuEmacs files (is that a port of GNUEmacs to the Amiga, by the way?). So it's probably not the BITFTP server, the files were somehow corrupted when they were placed on abcfd20 in the first place. -- Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Where does he get those wonderful toys?" -- J.
