Is there any way to send a binary file, either as attachment or otherwise just readable, in a script? the mail command send it but its garbage once you receive it. Thanks Jeff

Use mmencode or uuencode to translate the binary in base64 encoding. Or, if you script is Perl, there must be plenty modules to play with. Regards, Cees.

Depends on what browser you are using. I am using Netscape 4.51 and when I click the paperclip icon gives me to options: "auto detect" and "binary". Select binary. JLK Linux, because it's STABLE, the source code is included, the price is right.
