I am having a terrible problem downloading .bin, .sit, and .gif files. I
have downloaded several .bin files from rascal.ics.utexas.edu and none
of them have downloaded properly.  Each time, WK 11.0 has received them
as text files, not as SIT! files.  Same thing with .gif files I have
gotten from ames.arc.nasa.gov.  Each of the 15 or so files has come down
to my Mac screwed up.  What I mean by 'screwed up' is that neither
Giffer nor GIFConvert will open them up properly.  When I attempt to
open them, I either get an error message, or garbage in the picture
window.  Any ideas?

Unix environment:
DEC 5500 w/ Ultrix 4.1
using csh with my account

Mac environment: 
Mac IIci w/ system 6.0.7 
White Knight 11.0

Process: 
ftp to rascal or ames 
set to binary 
use get to get files 
use C-Kermit, 4E(072) 24 Jan 89, VAX/Ultrix on unix machine to send to
Mac via kermit -s command
use receive kermit on WK's end

Thanx folks,

Sean
