    edp - after your speedy and helpful assistance with VAX <-> HP-48SX
    transfers I was hoping I could help with the binary transfer problem.
    So far no luck though.

    I downloaded MSHOW, Jeff Kuhn's  Mandelbrot pattern sampler, using VMS
    C-Kermit. The byte count on the VAX was 82. The HP made it a string
    object. BYTES said 87. The +5 seems usual for a string; "ABC" gives 8.

    Hence I don't think C-Kermit is sending too many bytes. There must be
    some other reason for the HP making it a string.

    Iain.
