I tried to download what I _thought_ was a good buffer file – it's actually worthless junk. I _think_ it took the 2nd time – please examine both files. Also, I gleaned the info in the files from a CIS service, but I didn't see any copyright warnings anywhere prohibiting redistribution of the info. Thanx – G. Nelson and his pet Pterydactyl

>>I tried to download what I _thought_ was a good buffer file<< You confused me. You UPLOADED these files… not downloaded them. <g>

No, I _really_ meant download – I've always taken the buffer for granted, but it really is a download, right? The first time I tried to save what what coming on my screen I screwed it all up somehow. The upload was easy, once I figured out how to load a capture file from another floppy (I'm operating sans HD) – it was the download I couldn't get right, and I couldn't figure out how to get at my own file on my own computer (very humiliating)

Ah, now I understand. What terminal software are you using?

JRCOMM. I know, I know, it's very simple – my 3 1/2 month old daughter is teething and I was up till 5 am… while driving my wife to work a couple hours later, I sat at a green light for what must have been 2 minutes… even JRCOMM was beyond my abilities (very sheepish grin)

Garry, I've reformatted and LHA'd the information you placed in the library. Hope you don't mind. Thanks for taking the time to gather it all. The file is CBMHIS.LHA, and is now available.
