Kathy,

Please do not use "bget" or "type image" when transferring binary
files from this host.  Those two commands expect the host on the other
end to also be a 32-bit word machine.  This host is a 36-bit word
machine, and the resulting file will be trash as you observed.

The proper command it "type l 8" or its equivalent, "tenex."  But,
beware that some recent ftp programs have been appearing with "tenex"
incorrectly implemented as a "type l 32" equivalent.  If you have
problems, as your local system wizard, and refer to this message.
