Hi list Apologies for quite a lame question, and one not directly related, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer. How do you download stuff from the archives that people have sent as attachments? I guess you copy-paste the text from Mozilla (I'm on Linux) into a new file and decode it...but how? Any help appreciated. Cheers Stefan

Copy the text into [insert favorite text editor], and name with .pd extension. The name of the file should be in the header somewhere. Be careful of multiple files!
Hope that answers things for you.
good luck, d.

Thanks Derek and Patrick for replies. That's cool for patches, but what about .tars and the like? I'm specifically thinking of a post from Frank from ages back with freeverb~ attached as a .tgz (if I remember correctly) and since I can't find a (working) Linux binary anywhere else I want to give that a go. I've (re-)attached the first few lines of it below: the question is, how do I decode it?
Cheers, apologies for continued stupidity Stefan.

I'm guessing - but try the "decode-base64" command if you're in *nix to get binary out of that ascii. Or just read it with 'mail -f filename'.
