does not have TCP/IP available so FTP is not an option.  He is 
trying to use CAWin/95.  When he does the file transfer, he gets 
a message that says     "Not a Valid Database File".   If he 
creates a plain old flat file (crtpf rcdlen(xxxx)), it 
transfers, but of course is no longer a save file so can not do 
a rstobj on it.

My question being, What is the trick to getting  this to work 
via CAWin?<

Create a PF and then copy  the SAVF into the PF, ship the PF  then copy
SAVF 
out of the PF.  Then do what you want with the SAVF.  I do this all the
time.
