FTP -> Mac -> GS



Its been a long time since I dealt with the Apple // world as I just 
don't have the access to those computers like I used to.  But, now I need 
to set my father up with some telecom software so he can dial-in to work.

I found him an old 2400bps modem which is much faster than him so it'll 
do for now, but I'm in need of some terminal software...I all I had was a 
copy of Smartcom I from back in the days of a Smartmodem IIe inside my 
Beltron N Apple II+ compatible!

My question is what steps do I need to take to get one of the files on 
ground to work on the IIgs?  I can get them to my Mac, but just copying 
them to a ProDOS disk doesn't seem like the correct solution.  I know the 
various Mac/Unix/MS-DOS compression standards and uuencode/hqx stuff but 
what's a .shk and the other stuff I see on ground?

(FWIW, this GS has very little memory and ver. 1.? ROMs so its being used 
more as a glorified IIe than a IIgs.)

Thanks in advance,
