	I KNOW!!  There is an unwritten law stating that cross-posting
between Mac and Apple newsgroups is forbidden, but this question has to
do with both.

	I am having the darndest time trying to transfer files from the
Macs in the computer lab to my //gs in my room.  Before you go through
the trouble of thinking of some elaborate scheme I should use or
something I forgot, let me list what I know:

-I know these files should be Apple compatible because I download them
from comp.binaries.apple off of our VAX 11/780 (soon to be a Sun 3... I
hope :-).  Yes I realize these need to be BinSCII'ed (BinHex in Mac
terms) and un-Shrinkit'ed (un-Stuffit'ed for the Mac) and I
successfully converted BinSCII from VAX to Mac to Apple, but when I
ftp'ed sumex for Shrinkit and eventually converted it, it didn't work!
(Note: the BinSCII was a text file which I executed, when then produced
the real BinSCII (not like you Mac users know what th' he|| I'm talking
about :))

-Forget about any kind of direct link between //gs and VAX because...
	(1) I have no communications program, and
	(2) I'm NOT lugging my gs all the way to the computer center
	    unless I absolutely HAVE to.
 
-I've used Apple File Transfer 'till I'm blue in the face and still
nothing.  Does BinHex do the same job as BinSCII (for those of you who
are bi-lingual)?  Is there something on the VAX which does the same job
as BinSCII (forget about uuencode/uudecode)?

	Any help on the subject (mail or post) would be greatly appreciated.
