I use Procomm to up/dwn-load files from my Unix box on a regular basis. My settings are 8-N-1 (stay away from 7-E-1 if you can) and I always transfer archived files. Currently I have ARC and ZOO for both Unix and MS-DOS so this is real handy. I find that it has always resulted in a file of the correct length. Ive tried both Xmodem and Kermit - call me old fashioned but Kermit is my personal choice. Good Luck!
