[stuff deleted] Strange, I've downloaded loads of stuff from a Sys V UNIX machine and it always works fine - the only time it doesn't is when I forget to set the '-i' option on the UNIX kermit (for binary mode transfer). There's maybe something wrong with your UNIX kermit (although I have heard of some sort of bug in Uniterm's Kermit but it always works OK for me)... >Scott Le Grand aka SML108@PSUVM.PSU.EDU Mark Davidson
