Lines: 25 Could someone please tell me how to convert downloaded files. I'm using Red Ryder 9.2 and using a local bulletin board. I have no problem getting the file from the BBS to my floppy but I can't use any of the files. They appear as plain documents on my desktop. I've tried to download fonts and graphics. I did these files in XMODEM-CRC. There were other options, but I don't understand what the differences are. Programs I have which may or may not help include: Mac Tools 4.51 and Font/DA Mover 1.2. Also, I don't know how to get BinHex 4.0. I've seen the binaries on this board require this program, but I don't know where to get this. Finally, if I have this program, are there any other programs I need to complete the conversion? Thanks in advance for your help. -- ===================================================== |Snail Mail: | e-mail: | |Rob Sharo | sharo@remus.rutgers.edu| |108 Evans Ave. | | |Piscataway, NJ 08854 | | ===================================================== "Ack thpppt!" is what Bill would say if he saw our u.
