The Internet Files can be easily transmitted via the Internet. It is critical however, that the file be properly encoded so that it can be used by the person receiving it.
Most files are binary, but the Internet can only transfer text-based files.
Encoding converts your binary file into text so it can be transferred via the Internet. We recommend using MIME for PC files and BinHex for Mac files. All files being sent via the Internet should be compressed first. This can be done on a Mac using CompactPro, Stuffit or DiskDoubler. On a PC, PKZip or WinZip are the best choices.
