The trick is that I _have_ to do it via floppy disk. What I've been trying to do is write a DOS format disk on the Sparc, and then use Apple File Exchange to decipher it. The problem is that the carriage returns/line feeds are misinterpreted by the Mac (they come out looking like boxes). Also, I think that there's an EOF problem, because looking at the Mac version of the file often causes MS Word to crash. Can someone help me out? Thanks.. - Boris Burtin (6600bori@ucsbuxa.ucsb.edu)
