As you know, Unix does not distinguish between TEXT or BINARY type files.
So by default, Medley will first look at the IL:DEFAULTFILETYPELIST
variable and if the extension on your file is registered in this list,
Medley  will use that attribute when transfering files. If it isn't, it
will use the setting in the variable IL:DEFAULTFILETYPE. In the "Medley for
the Sun" manual there are recommended settings for these variables. You
should add (DCOM . BINARY) to IL:DEFAULTFILETYPELIST to get it to work
correctly.

Good luck,
