Kermit must be set in the "binary" mode, I do this by starting kermit using "kermit -i". The communications software that you use must be in "MACBINARY" mode. If the comms software is left in 'binary', the document that is sent/received is saved as in text format, not binary format. I hope this may be of some help. I wasted several hours attempting to transfer binary files using "binary" instead of "macbinary" mode until I stumbled onto this. Jeff Kulp kulp@cs.nps.navy.mil
