If it says NuFile or NuFX, then I don't think it is binscii, therefore it MUST be downloaded in binary, esp. on a CMS system. .Z files can be unpacked with ShrinkIt/GS. I know, I tried, it works. They MUST however be dl in binary with Kermit. ProTerm binary transfer with ProTerms Kerm it emulation doesn't do 8-bit quoting (a silly oversight...).
