cheaper), then it doesnt come with the needed adapters, and you can just get
the right one at a store somewhere...

Sure it's an opinion. Actually, I don't need TIAutoType or ResEdit because when I download the zip files I use ZipIt to unzip them. I found out it uses InternetConfig's extension mapping so I mapped .83g, .83p, .83i, etc. to the type and creator. Now it's fully automated! (I also have PC Exchange to automatically identify these files off of PC disks.)>

MUCH easier to use... Maybe theres a different version of it than the one I
have, since I have a Power Mac, but mine is a Drag 'n Drop program, so it is
Very simple (which would be My opinion, if ya wanna know... =P )

>> 9. Click Send, (or Done - I can't remember which it is :)I think I'll try it on my Power Mac and see what happens, or maybe my Mac SE! ;-) It could be that the Mac GraphLink just doesn't like my one serial port situation. When ASM progs first came out, I could send them to my calc perfectly. When squishing began, it couldn't send squished apps. Basically, it does the same think to a squished prog as it would do if you tried to send in a Word document. (Although I also had a Duo 230 w/Sys 7.5.5 way back when... Now I have OS 8.1...)

Thanks,

p.s. sorry if any PC users are getting indigestion from reading more than one sentence about a Mac! ;-)
