People on my system have been having several problems with JNET, but
one of them stands out.  The inability of JNET to receive binary files
correctly (I know that VMSDUMP works between VAXes).  The problem
was originally noticed when a user on CMS (which runs on a IBM370 clone)
sent a binary file to another user on the VAX.  The file was a program
for an IBM-PC.  When the guy downloaded it from the VAX, it didn't
work.

I looked at the problem and finally traced it down to the JNET receive
A good way to simulate the problem is to do a SEND/FILE/BINARY BLAH.EXE
to yourself.  Then go into RECEIVE and do a RECEIVE/BINARY BLAH.EXE.
If you do a DIR/FULL on the original, it is a Fixed block file.
The RECEIVEd version is Variable length, Carriage control.

Does anybody have a solution (or a program) of how to get this to work
right?  I started to write a program to convert the RECEIVEd version
back into the original back can't get it to work right.

Thanks,
