The FAC in the GET column will tell you whether you have clearance for downloading a particular file. The files that you GET from the fileserver may not be in a format which is intelligible without some unpacking. In general, files will be uploaded using BinHex4.0 and will need to be downloaded and converted to a normal file for use with the word processing or graphics programs generally found on desktop computers. Many email handling programs automatically convert BinHex files into usable forms. For Mac users, the programs Fetch or Eudora have automatic translators, as do many others.
Similar programs are available for PC users.
