Does anyone out there use FTP on a VAX/VMS system? I'll be damned if I can get
it to successfully receive a file (in BINARY, the last entry in the zoo archive
is always bungled & zoo bombs out. Much worse in Ascii mode). (Transferring it
to my Amiga is much worse, I have resorted to UUENCODING stuff and decoding it
on the Amiga, which works OK but is generally a long procedure. If anyone can
point me to a program, like Xmodem, or Ymodem, or Zmodem, or anything but the
accursedly slow kermit, (for VMS, I'll even take source code for another
machine that I could muck with) I would be very appreciative).
Thanks for any help you can offer...
