*** FOOD FOR LINE EATER ***

You don't say which version of Kermit you are running on the VAX, but if
it is the C-Kermit you need to do:

     C-Kermit>SET FILE TYPE BINARY

or some such before the transfer. I guess there will be an equivalent on
any  other VAX Kermit (so long as it supports binary file transfer, that
is).

The change in length could be due to the fact that you have EOF mode set
to  CTRL-Z in the MS-Kermit. This would cause an occurrence of hex 1A in
the file to terminate the transfer (I think....).  On  the  other  hand,
setting binary mode may be enough.

Hope this helps.
