I've got a couple of simple questions to ask more knowledgeable mac users out there. #1: A friend and I want to download (ftp) sounds,gifs,etc. and want to know how to do it. He's got an SE/30 and a modem (I'm on the university mainframe) and we can login remoteley. We have Red Ryder v9.x(?) and unstuffit 1.5.1. Is this all we need? Can someone decribe the process a little bit to get us started? What about binhex (what a scary word! Lions and tigers and binhex, oh my!). Any other download tips or fun ftp sites will be much appreciated!! #2: We're both Anime fans and we'd like to get some gifs. Iv'e also seen references to HST (Hubble Space Telescope) and Hurricane Hugo gifs floating around. What utilities do we need to convert them into something useful ,like macpaint or PICT? Again if anyone knows of other gif-ftp sites please let me know! Thanks in advance (x100) Todd scooter -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | _________ ___ ___ ___ |EngliNet: Todd John McDaniel | | /________/| /__/| /__/\ /__/| |InterNet: scooter@emunix.emich.edu | | |___ ___|/ | || | \\ / || |AlterNet: AEBriddley@NCC-1758 'Alaska' | | | || ____| || | |\\//| || | Western Civilization: | | | || /____| || | ||\/ | || | "It would be a good idea" | | |__|/ |_______|/ |__|/ |__|/ | Mohandas K.
