MORE INFORMATION
If a file type IS NOT TO BE CONVERTED, then the mapping line for that type should have its &quot;Kind&quot; field set to Binary (not TEXT or ANSI).

For example, when you attempt to transfer Adobe Acrobat files through the gateway, the line should be: .PDF=Acrobat:TEXT:CARO:Binary If the line is set to anything else, such as the following .PDF=Acrobat:TEXT:CARO:Text then you will get the following error message whenever you try to read the file on the receiving end:

Rebuilding Damaged File

In addition, the listings for the Lotus 1-2-3 files are all incorrect in the original MAPPINGS.TXT file. Each line should end in Binary, rather than Text, as follows: .WKS=Lotus 1-2-3 1.x -> Microsoft Excel:TEXT:XCEL:Binary .WK1=Lotus 1-2-3 2.x -> Microsoft Excel:TEXT:XCEL:Binary .WK3=Lotus 1-2-3 3.x -> Microsoft Excel:TEXT:XCEL:Binary
