I got a couple of replies to this... and to those people, thanks. But a note:
I HAVE tried Binscii, but: 1) It doesn't work, and 2) There is no "FiLe
StArT" line at the beginning. I really think that Apple put the files in
direct Binary II format. Anyone know what the filetype # of this format is? I
was thinking of transferring the file as binary, then changing the filetype
to the one for Binary II.

How did everyone else download HyperCard GS?
