phil, I've found the Apple File Exchange unreliable when transfering binary files via MSDOS formatted disks, trys to turn them into text files one and all. I prefer and use AccessPC (commercial file exchange program) which hasn't a problem handling binary formats. I think you need another loader for AFE to enable it to handle the binary transfers, however I've never seen or heard of one. The other way I move files is with AMAX via SyQuest cartridges or MAC formatted floppys. My last technique is to use a null-modem cable between machines and terminal programs running on each. My preferred method these days is a HiDensity MSDOS floppy for small files like ASCII, fonts and graphics, large stuff I use the SyQuest. Christopher
