Sorry if this question has been asked before, but when you say "send the
commands..." - is that the same as sending those two lines by E-mail to the
given address?  Or are those ftp commands (why the uppercase then?).

Problem is, if you don't have the program, you also don't know the address.
Would you know it by any chance?  I would be very interested in a program that
does what Chameleon seems to do.  I've tried the Universal File Converter
utility, but found it unsatisfactory as it does not recognize ProDOS paths
(only S6,Dn), is slow, and generally cumbersome to work with (the user interface
sucks!)

If possible, send answers by E-mail to my address above, our news system is
a bit flakey at the moment and swallows ~1/2 of all articles.
