I have almost resolved such problems as following methods. 1. Add "/binary/translate" options into "send" command written in "bn_master.pas" of PMDF routine, which performs master of bitnet channel. Ordinary send command works in no-binary mode. So, any control characters are stripped. I can send Kanji mail by translating with and in master.com before calling the modified "bn_master.exe". 2. It is difficult to catch the message from jnet channel, since it is delivered directry into queue. I made a little modification in "mm.pas" of PMDF source, in order to keep the information of the entrance channel as well as delivering channel. I decided to keep it in the name of queued message file, like as CTCP_LOCAL_0093264AED5244000000849-B.00;1 . ^^ This example name indicates the mail is from "bitnet" and will be delivered to "tcp/ip" mail network. It is easy to know how to translate the kanji-code of the mail. For this example, It should be converted from IBM-Kanji to JIS(7bit)-Kanji by . These conversion procedures is easyly attached in the "master.com" command file. M. Wada at Cyclotron and Radioisotope center, Tohoku Univ.
