David is up and running; I sent him the 2.1e bits.

Now, let's talk about extending NCSA Telnet to support the transfer of
complete Macintosh files without using an encoding program such as binhex,
packit, or stuffit.  Could (and should) "binary" mode of ftp be switchable
to meaning to transfer all three forks of a Macintosh file, say, to and from
"MacBinary" form, instead of meaning only transfer the data fork?  Is this
an appropriate forum to discuss the operation of NCSA Telnet?

Happy New Year,
