I use a Macintosh system and transmit via a First Class BBS system. The Macintosh world likes 8 bit characters, the Unix world likes 7 bit characters. Thus some of the characters I use (the curly apostrophe for example) are considered special characters, and aren't translated properly when sent across the net. I shall try to watch for this problem. If anyone who requests a file from me also gives me their mailing address, I'll send a hard copy of the file. Brian Symonds <[log in to unmask]>
