Here's the Answer!!! Downloading Problem: Help!!



Well, it looks like I just made anothe small discovery (well its a
discovery for me anyway)!!!  If you're using an IBM & Netscape to
download Apple II software.  Make sure you place Shrinkit/Binary stuff
in Helper/Applications menu of Netscape.  Then go to an Apple II FTP
site, such as:

grind.isca.uiowa.edu

However, here is the catch don't go to this Apple II site using:

http://grind.isca.uiowa.edu

under Netscape...

You must use:

ftp://grind.isca.uiowa.edu

under Netscape you can ftp (and if I'm correct also gopher somewhere
too), and everything works fine, I've tried it on several Apple II files
and everything seems to be intact with No corruption.  You can then
transfer via disk from the IBM to the IIgs without doing anything. 
ShrinkitGS will unpack it properly...
