I don't know if he/she/it was the same person who decided that but I bet he/she/it was actually a he/she/it and not a he/she/it.

Seriously, when doing presentations that are going to be in english but presented in foreign speaking countries I always am asked to replace he or she with he/she or him and her with him/her etc. in all of my presentations.

It would be nice to have a neutral way of identifying the person with out gender. This would be politically correct now a days. FBOW (for better or worse)

It is unfortunate that English lacks a gender-neutral personal pronoun.

Proper grammar would be to use the word "he" in a situation where you do
not know a person's gender, but perhaps some rules are best broken:)

That particular rule of grammar was probably thunk up by the same person
who decided that couples should be addressed as Mr. and Mrs. John
Smith:)

Sorry, jbv.  I'll write "s/he" from now on.

Yep, and I also tried to transfer the unzipped stack via Iomega Zip,
and I get the same error...

BTW Jon, what makes you think I'm a "he", and not a "she" ?    ;-)

If he is transferring a Zip, he could not have corrupted it during the
file transfer: the unZip processor would have detected it...

Hi list,

I'm facing a problem for the 1st time :
I have a stack built on MacOS9 which I transfered
safely to WinXP (zipped file via ftp).




Is the FTP set to binary transfer. If it is set to ASCII transfer
then it can be
corrupted. Mind you I cant explain the reverse transfer to win
working.

You could always upload it to revonline or to some webspace as a .rev
file and
re-download it on the mac, just incase the corruption is via the
unzipping on
the mac.

All the best
Bob
