Help with BINSCII



First, I would like to thank everyone who has tried to help me already.

Unfortunately, I'm still haveing trouble getting BINSCII to work.
Part of my problem is the only transfer protocol I currently have
on my Apple IIc is XMODEM.  First, I ftp what I want from the Internet
on an IBM-compatible workstation at school.  I get someone to run
ProComm+ in host mode so I can download files via XMODEM to my Apple
IIc.  Next I tried "-BINSCII.EXE" in ProDOS, but got nothing but
"SYNTAX ERROR"s one after the other.  Next I wrote a BASIC program
to change all the CHR$(10) (Unix end-of-line) to CHR$(13) (Apple's
end-of-line) characters.  Then I tried "-BINSCII2.EXE" (which is what
I called the new file) and it actually started doing something!  Then
it ended in 3 "SYNTAX ERROR"s.  (Boy!  That burst my bubble!)  Well,
I decided to try the BINSCII (ProDOS SYS) file that was created.  
I tried several .BSQ files.  They all ended up with a type of $E0
and none of them would run.

Does anyone know where I can get a BINARY (i.e. already compiled SYS)
version of BINSCII.  I think it would be more straightforward for me
and involve fewer computer acrobatics.

Still in search of VT100 emulation.
