You do have to remember to set binary mode at both ends for binary transmissions. I usually say "kermit -ix" to the Unix kermit, click the "binary" box on the Uniterm menu, and use the "get" or "put" command. ================================================== | Michael Fischer | | Arpanet: | | Bitnet: | | UUCP: | ==================================================
