I'll just wait and see if I get all sorts of responses from far away lands, like Kansas or Wisonsin. But enough rambling... I just found this newgroup, and I have an essential question. I wouldn't ask it, but I am sure there are other people who would love to take advantage of what is here, and can't quite figure it out. Here it is: I have both ARC521 and PKARC version 3.4. Now, when I download the long files that seem to be filled with ASCII garbage to my IBM, how do I extract the binary files? I have read the included documentation and everyhting. Thanks in advance, Michael Golden mlg245@uxf.cso.uiuc.edu
