One thing to check when downloading *.ARC files is that the host computer
(your mainframe system) is set to binary mode.  This is usually done by typing: 
"set file type binary" at the kermit prompt.  Then, use uniterm in binary 
kermit mode to download the file.  uuencoded files are in ASCII form, so 
you can download them in ordinary ASCII mode.  

good luck,

Maurice
