Hello to all,

I'm not a new OS9 user, strictly, nor even new to this forum.  But it's been
several years since I've use the OS, and I've been a lurker here, mostly.

I'm using OS9 again, and find it as hard to "get into" as ever.  I would
*greatly* appreciate using some of the tools here, but can't even manage that.
Embarrassed, but unbowed, I'm asking you the usual simple questions.

  * I have kermit on a PC and on my 68K OS9 machine, and can transfer files
    from CIS to the PC and from it to OS9.

  * I can transfer the *.c files, but have no "intelgob.c" file.  Many of
    the source files seem to use #include's that I don't have.

  * I can transfer the *.bin files, but am not sure what to do with them.
    They don't appear to be directly executable under OSK, they don't seem
    to be S files.  What are they?  What do I do to run one?

..because of the above, all the lovely *.ar and *.lzh files are pretty unusable
to me.  I looked for a "How to use the archive files" text file, but didn't
find one.  Nothing very helpful in my stored *.msg stuff from long ago either.
I feel pretty silly, but .... help!
