the ^Z it the CPM end of file character for ascii files.
it is always there except when it would be the first character in
a new allocation (either new block or new extent, i don't remember)
kermit apparently does not differentiate between text (with 0x1a marking
end of file) and binary (with no end of file -- only data)
