Hiya!!  I'm -really- new to Usenet groups.. and, I was wondering..

I downloaded a few files from FTP, and I wasn't sure if I should
download them using Binary or ASCII (they were ASCII pics..), so
I tried both.  All the files are garbled.  I don't know if I'm doing
something wrong, or what.. and I realllllly hope you guys don't get
angry for me posting this here.. I figured since it was ASCII pictures
I was downloading, I could/should ask here...  Thanks in advance
for any/all help you can give!  Please feel free to send e-mail.

Thanks again -

Kathleen
