Message-ID: <16930@agate.BERKELEY.EDU> Date: 13 Nov 88 03:40:00 GMT Sender: usenet@agate.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 15 I was downloading a big batch of binhexed files from my Unix acct to my Mac when I first encountered the system error -37. I looked this up in all my references and could only glean this very descriptive explanation: bad name. What the hell? The thing that really vexes me is that I get this intermittently, and I can't find a pattern. I would use Xmodem (Y mode) and kermit on Unix, and I got this error for both! My Mac would receive a bunch of files properly in the batch, and then out of the blue I'd get this message, and my transfer aborts. PLEASE HELP! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please reply via e-mail; I just don't have enough time to go thru the entire newsgroup.
