If you mentioned the file format, or Kermit flavors and versions, it
would be easier to help.  I'll assume your PC emulator creates Stream
files.  In that case, using C-Kermit on VMS in binary mode should present
no problems.  If you're using VMS-Kermit, it was written before Stream
files existed on VMS and doesn't know how to handle them.  In that case,
SET FILE TYPE BLOCK on VMS-Kermit before transferring the files.
