Hello again,

   I currently own a MAC and an Amiga, and am having a small problem downloading
software to the Amiga from BBS systems.

   I am downloading to the Mac  because it has a hard disk, using Xmodem with
MacBinary checking turned off, then try to use Digital Link to send the file
from the MAC to the Amiga.  If I use XMODEM protocol on both sides, the file
goes across without error but the Amiga will not run the program, saying it is
not an object file.  I have even tried using FIXOBJ on it with no success.

If I set the Mac to Xmodem xfer, and the Amiga to Amiga Binary (Xmodem with
first record describing resulting files), the transfer hangs on the last
record every time,  I can abort the xfer, but it never completes.

   Does anyone know the summary of how to download, file types on BBS systems
what to do when the xfer is complete, etc.

   I would really appreciate the information

Phil Hunt
