Internet->Mac->Apple IIgs



   I'm experiencing some problems download files to my Mac Performa 575
from the internet, and then running them, from disk, on my Apple IIgs.  I
download the file(s) directly to an  800k Apple II formated disk,  then
insert it into my Apple IIgs's 3.5 disk drive.  Then I follow the
intructions to intall BinSCII.EXE, but I get "file type mismatch" errors
in Basic (which the BinSCII.EXE instructions say to use to intall it).  I
have tried couple of other programs, but they dont work either.  When I
use the CAT command it says that the file type is 0$ (or 00, can't
remember =} ).
   My guess is that my mac gives it a mac id (or whatever it's called),
which makes it not work on my Apple II.  If this is the case, how can I
change the file type? If that's not the problem, then what is and how can
I fix it?

Thanks,

Adam
