(Why do people assume something doesn't (and "never will") exist just because they haven't heard about it yet...?) 1) Arc for the Mac does exist...! You CAN "just arc things up and send one big file". It works just fine. I don't have a copy but I've seen a friend use it on his Mac to arc and unarc stuff for/from a non- Mac BBS system. 2) If you packed all your fonts into a Mac style .pit archive, there is a program for the ST called UNPIT.TTP that will extract the fonts for you. I've used this for getting stuff from a Mac BBS. -- PS: My Reply-To address gets munged by the gateway I'm currently using for news access so you can't just eply to this article and have your message get to me.
