I then want to upload these to another VAX and then be able to run the programs. Using KERMIT in binary mode does not accomplish this task and according to the Kermit-32 documentation, the proper way to do this is to send the file using KERMIT in binary mode and to receive the file using KERMIT in FIXED mode. I'd like to give this a try but I don't have any communications software for my PC that supports KERMIT FIXED FILE TYPE. Does anybody know of any software that has this feature? If so, could you please also post the phone # of the the company. Thanks for all assistance. -- --- Andy Ross --- University of Pennsylvania Medical School Computer Facility
