I have been having a problem downloading ZOOed Amiga files from my UNIX
account that were obtained via FTP. I set "BINARY" mode on for FTP, I 
set-up my UNIX Kermit to "SEND amigafile.zoo" and then set-up my Amiga
Kermit (from VT-100 2.6 or so) to RECEIVE and the file is (eventually)
transfered to my Ami. The problem occurs when I try to unZOO the beast.
I get the first filename of the ZOOed file printed and then Mr. Guru pops
in to see how the family is doing. What am I flubbing up? How can I get
these FTPed files from UNIX to my Amiga with no errors?

Thanks in advance...
