I have had no success in transferring binary files unless the file's type and creator are: "BIN " and "A/UX" I have tried "BIN " and "AUXS" but this does not seem to work. There is a document someplace which describes the translations that take place for different creator and types. tim. ------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Endres | time@ice.com ICE Engineering | uupsi!ice.com!time 8840 Main Street | Whitmore Lake MI. 48189 | (313) 449 8288
