I am using a 386sx AT (msdos) and kermit to logon to a microvax III (4.3bsd).
From the vax I am connecting via FTP to wuarchive.wustl.edu (128.252.135.4)
and retrieving the file pk361.exe (self unpacking archive) onto the vax.
From there I am using kermit to transfer pk361.exe to the PC.
When I then type "pk361" ........... nothing happens! (and I then have to
reboot the PC).
Now my question is - should what I have done work? If not why? Is the problem
in the FTP retrieve to the vax or the kermit transfer to the PC?
Any thoughts and/or suggestions would be greatfully recieved.

Greg
