RE: Getting SaveFile from PC World to the AS/400 via CA/Win

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use MS Exchange and have sent many save files over the net, zipped and   
unzipped.  Never had a problem.

It is probably your e-mail software.  Some programs do weird things to
attached
files, particularly I have noticed SAVFs.  I have noticed this mainly   
with
Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Notes.  Some mailers corrupt attached files,   
ie.
you
can't unzip zipped files and SAVFs can't be sent as such.  Might be   
cheaper to
mail a tape.
