Can you telnet and compress the files on the Unix machine??

If you can, make a tar file ("%tar cf target_directory.tar
target_directory") then do Unix compress on that file ("%compress
target_directory.tar"). Compress may complain that "file was unchanged".
Thats ok.

Then get suntar (shareware, web search on the name should turn up a
download point) and install them on the Mac.

If the tar file couldnt be compressed, just download target_directory.tar
to the Jaz and run suntar on it. If it did compress, d/l the
target_file.tar.Z file drop it on StuffitExpander then run suntar on the
.tar file.

Hope this helps.

Bill
