<snip> Lots of stuff about FTPing files using tenex/bytestream mode </snip> IMHO the easiest way to get patch files on to the HP3000 is to download them to a PC using whatever WWW or FTP client, then upload them to the HP3000 using Samba/iX. So easy. No typing. Just point, click and drag. Campbell Fethers Systems Manager CANNEX (Aust) Pty Ltd
