I am using MS-Kermit 3.01, and am having a rather difficult time. I can ftp the files to the University Computer OK, (I think they make it ok), however, when I try to send the files from the Univ. computer, to my system (MSDOS) they are getting mangled somehow. That is, after I receive them on my home system, and try to decompress them, they won't decompress. Could someone tell me: A) What I am doing wrong? B) Where I can get a recent copy of MS-Kermit C) If there is a way to tell the remote host that the file it is sending is binary, and not text (This may be it!) D) If someone could walk me through a complete session of sending the files via Kermit... *****EMAIL RESPONSES PREFERRED***** Sean ------- Sean Petty |INTERNET: undrground!seanp@amix.commodore.com | UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!seanp "In order to make anything from | ICBM: 39.58.1' North 75.61.1' West scratch, you must first create | 50/50: seanp@undrground.UUCP the universe." - Carl Sagan | seanp@amix.commodore.com
