Macs can decode any file. It's just a matter of having a couple
different decoders around for each encoding type. (One of them is bound
to work.)
.zip: StuffIt Expander (with Expander Enhancer), ZipIt, UnZip...
.uue: StuffIt Expander (possibly with EE), uucd, UUundo, UULite...
Another common pitfall in preparing downloaded programs for use with the
Mac Graph Link software is the file type/creator scheme used on the Mac.
The best way to work around this is to create entries in Internet
Config's file mappings for each type of Graph Link file. (This way,
IC-aware programs will automatically assign the correct type and
creator.) Another workaround is to use TIAutoType from TI.
This is a quick overview. If there is enough interest I'll put together
a detailed instruction sheet on ticalc.org.
