Thanks Marlyse; Well, I'm trying to avoid the recipient having to possess specific decompression software to open the files, hence the self extracting archive which, by necessity, is an application of sorts. But you're right, there's a good chance that their server will bounce it so maybe I should look at other options. Still, I'm curious to learn why Base64 is not suitable for .exe files, f anyone knows. Rick ----------- G4/500 MHz (DP) :: OS X 10.2.6 :: 768 MB RAM PM 4.1.3 :: 3 pane mode <www.sharkattack.co.uk>
