i HAVE A BINARY QUESTION FOR THIS GROUP. i WANT TO SEND SOME MP3 FILES TO A FRIEND USING MY E-MAIL SERVICE BUT THE SERVER DOESN'T ALLOW FOR LARGER FILES. i KNOW YOU CAN DRAG AN MP3 FILE INTO AN OPEN NOTEPAD WINDOW AND IT WILL GIVE YOU THE BINARY CODE FOR THAT FILE. iF I SAVE IT AS A .MIM FILE, THEN IT WILL SAVE IT AS A ZIP FILE. wHAT I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO If POSSIBLE IS SEND MY FRIEND ALL THE MUSIC AS BINARY TEXT AND ENCLOSE ALL OF THE SONGS SAVED AS BINARY TEXT IN A ZIP FILE. wHEN HE GETS THE ZIP AND OPENS IT UP. He will see a bunch of text files. How can he then switch them back to working mp3 files that he can play??? I know this is a trick done in news groups where if i open a message i will see a bunch of code and all i have to do is copy that code and paste it into notepad and save it as a .mim file. I will then be able to open this .mim file(which has become a .zip file)and inside will be a file with it's correct format. I understand how to recieve and restore these file conversions but i guess my question is how to send them. If anyone can decifer my rambling and can help me out i would be greatly appreciative!!! Thanking you in advance. Sean
