Binary shouldn't be necessary, PostScript files *should* be all text.

If you are using Columbia's kermit you can type SET FILE-TYPE BINARY before
you transfer and that will override the file type. Make sure you set the type
to binary on the other end, too -- most other kermit implementations use
SET FILE TYPE BINARY (no hyphen between FILE and TYPE).

Hope this helps...
