   There is a problem with downloading binary image files from a mainframe
that requires parity checking (such as the 7E1 required here by PSU).
If you are running Kermit on the mainframe to send the files to your
Apple then you should try using Kermit on your Apple to receive the files
as Kermit provides for 8-bit-quoting along you to get all the information.
   I had problems getting binary GIF files using ProTerm until I discovered
this. Now I have no problems when when using Kermit to receive these files.
Just be sure that you have Kermit set to the correct parity and that the
Quote-character is the same for both ends of the connection.
   Hopefully this will help those people that have been having so many problems
FTP-ing binary files.
