The HARDWARE:  Atari 520ST with color monitor, two SS disk drives 
               and tos in ROM.

The PROBLEM:   None of the code I have received on the net runs.  
               It doesn't seem to matter what type of code, 
               either.  I have compiled c retreived with the ch 
               shell stripping off the extra and by hand copying 
               the lines of code.  I have also uudecoded several 
               binaries for the ST using three different uudecode 
               programs on two different machines.  Also, I 
               recently received the "starters kit" (and a 
               wonderfull package it is, too.  Four disks packed 
               to the hubs with great stuff.) but find that most 
               of the programs tend to produce two mushroom 
               clouds.  Just like the programs I write. :-)

The METHOD:    I save the net articles to my home directory on 
               the UNIX machine at work using an IBM PC-XT 
               running a h19 terminal emulator.  Then I access 
               the UNIX machine at home with the ATARI running 
               ST-TALK.  I use the capture mode.  I don't seem to 
               understand the xmodem feature of the UNIX machine 
               and I can't get the kermit in the 520ST developer's 
               package to work at all.

The QUESTION:  Is it just my machine?

The DISCLAIMER:     I speak only for mayself.  At least my wife 
                    says I don't speak for her. :-)

The THANKS:    Thanks.
