Why not just uuencode Iff2ps at the unix side, download it as a text file,
then uudecode at the Amiga side? uudecode for the Amiga is available on Fish
Disk #92. Of course, if you need to transfer THAT from the Unix system as
well, you run into trouble (but at least the source code for uudecode is also
available).
