Enjoy! I started with MacIP, and use XferIt now. Despite a few bugs, it's more stable and is much faster. The big improvement over other programs is it seems to debinhex on the fly, rather than downloading first then debinhexing. This is so quick, I'm not sure if there is any speed advantage in debinhexing on the unix side (perhaps someone with the unix software for this will check this out). -- Philip Machanick philip@pescadero.stanford.edu
