What site did you get them from? If you got them from tybalt.caltech.edu then
they are all text-encoded (with binscii) so you should have no problems
downloading them but they will need to be decoded before you can use them.

If you are trying to move a binary file around, type "binary" in FTP _before_
you issue the "get"; FTP will move the raw file without trying to interpret it
as text. You can also specify binary tranfers between your acount and Proterm;
I use kermit so somebody else can take that one.

Hope this helps
