kevin said: This looks like the stack has been corrupted and therefore can't be opened. Is it possible that you transfered it to the Mac using a non-binary transfer (some transfer programs will wrongly assume MetaCard stacks are text only and thus break them)? Try transfering again, being sure to specify binary if relevant any time during the transfer. Kevin yes I think you are right, I ftp'ed them to myself from the sparc to my website and down again but didn't specify binary so I screwed them up. thanks Jim Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/metacard%40lists.best.com/ Info: http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/mailinglist.htm Please send bug reports to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, not this list.
