need software that does two things: uses a graphic interface and can save files
in Unix format. Currently, I'm using JRComm. With it, I'm trying to attach
ASCII files to Internet messages. Unfortunately, when the files are received t
they are in machine code. Tech rep advises that Internet is translating the
attachments into Unix files for transmission. To avoid the problem I need to
creat and send the files in a compatible form.

Are you trying to send Internet email from CompuServe or via another host
system? If it is CompuServe and you are using AmigaDos 2.04 or higher and
have a harddrive, AutoPilot would give you both the graphic user interface
and an easier way to send Internet email.
Internet does not translate ASCII files "into Unix files for
transmission". ASCII (7-bit) is the format used for Internet email. Some
email systems will translate binary documents (including word processing
document files) into "UUENCODED" files (ASCII representation of a binary
file) to allow transmission.
