Transfer From IIgs to PC Successful--Read Please



Transfer From IIgs to PC Successful--Read Please

    I want to explain what I am doing while I try to determine why binary is
not compatible between IIgs/Mac and PC.
    I shrinked a whole 3.5" diskette within .SDK extension by using ShrinkIt
v3.4.  I formatted HFS format on 1.44MB diskette through BlueDisk controller
card before I copied .SDK on it.  I put it into my PC by using MacOpener
program before I copied .SDK into FAT32 format.  I tried to nulib .SDK back
to the original size, but nulib failed.
    It is very clear that it has nothing wrong with nulib nor MacOpener.  In
fact, ASCII 128-256 between Apple IIgs and PC are very different.  Some
characters between ASCII 128-256 may be modified itself incorrectly while it
is transferring.
    I have to UUENCODE .SDK from Apple IIgs before it can be transferred to
PC.  After it is transferred, I UUDECODED .SDK in FAT32 format.  Then, I did
nulib .SDK back to the original size successfully.  I did check CRC checksum
and the binary.  All of them are identifical.
    It is all done without through Macintosh.  Please explain why ASCII
128-256 may be different while binary is supposed to be unchanged.  Please
advise.
