Folks,
     Ok, I have some more questions that need to be answered:

   1)  First, if I download a file via FTP, like program.zoo, can I just
download that file from the VAX to the Amiga, UnZOO it, and just run the 
program.  I have seen a lot of talk about UUencoding and stuff.  What
exactly is this and when do you have to use it?

   2)  On the other side of the coin, if I ZOO or ARC or LZH a file on the
Amiga, and then upload it to the VAX, must I do anything else to the file
before sending to someone or to and FTP site?

     The bottom line : I need help with file transfer....
     Please e-mail..
