RE: Getting a File to a PC with No Client Access

Pat, 

I don't think you'll have codepage issues, since the file transfer utility
will be handling the conversions.  Some of the older ones I've used allowed
you to specify the conversion table you wanted to use to translate EBCDIC to
ASCII.  Different table to support a different resulting codepage.  Pretty
lo-tech, but sufficient for most since there's usually only one language on
a box (for most, anyway).

ETU can handle *dif,*text,*basic,*tab (I think)

One of the other guys stated that I could create a flat file
and copy directly into that. That actually worked, now I wonder
about "code pages" and ascii conversion, although ETU might handle
that OK.... I try that part after lunch....
