Hello,
Has anybody out there had any experience in using the VMACS-filetransfer
program between VAX-workstations and MACINTOSH-machines? 

I am told that the following features are valid:
	1: One can store MACINTOSH files and applications on a VAX or
           VAX-Workstation, and retrieve them from a MACINTOSH with standard
           terminal-emulators.                 
	2: Unlike KERMIT, VMACS remebers the full MACINTOSH-format of a file
           ,such as information of resources, icons, fonts etc.
	3: It is in principle possible - however nontrivial - to establish
           a connection between a, say a MACINTOSH application such as 
           PAGEMAKER or QUARK-XPRESS that supposedly produces a postscriptfile,
           and POSTSCRIPT-laserprinter in a VMS-cluster.

Please refute these statements or correct them.
Any further hints on the use of VMACS or communication-problems
between MACINTOSH and the VMS-world in general, are most welcome. 
I'm new at this game.....
