Your messgae is a little unclear...Do ya want to send "zip" files is that 
it??? if ya do you have to "uuecode" them on Unix.... thats the only 
problem with "Email" It doesnt support or can't handle machine Code..you 
have to uuencode a ziped file otherwise the other person will get a 
screen full of mess!!! :")  Also... On an Ftp site.... Samething goes if 
ya wanna get a "ziped" file or a file you know contains "machine codes" 
youll have to set it to "binary"  "ftp>" should default to binary but 
Unfortunatly it doesnt... However if ya can get "ncftp" which is a ftp 
program...that makes everything a little easier....espescially when 
"ncftp" defaults binary transfers....So....Hmmmm I hope this 
helps...Maybe Im reading too much into your letter... Someone help me out 
now!!!!! :")  Get back with me.... If Ive made it unclear...
