No problem at all....after all...You guys here have helped me out a
lot in my transfer questions.  One thing....how do I turn the
shrinkit.img diskcopy 4.2 Image I have into a mac binary or other
version that can be uploaded to a news server and retain its format??
I can un binhex, or un-macbinary....or whatever it's called....simple
drag and drop onto stuffit....but....I don't know how to make one...or
what program I need to do it.  I just bought my mac solely for the
purpose of easy file transfers to and from my GS, and so I could write
myself out a set of GS OS floppies after I downloaded them from
apple's FTP server.  My PC is my main machine...and It's the one on my
cablemodem.  My mac is an old powerbook with no internet connectivity,
so, I will have to binhex, or macbinary, or whatever you call
it....and transfer it to my PC for uploading.  I do have a mac HFS
filesytem driver installed on my PC...so...It reads and writes mac
floppies and CD's natively.
