I am trying to download files from a ftp site that does not support the .hqx fo
rmat.  The files from this site are all in .bin, .sit, or .pit format.  When I
try to download these files from my campus mainframe computer using kermit, all
 I get is a trashed file.  I am using MacKermit for my communications software.
  When I get the file from the ftp site I use the binary command before I issue
 the send command.  When I download from the mainframe to my computer I issue a
 file-type binary command.  My Kermit program it set up to get files in binary
form.  The file is store in the date fork.  How can I get a runable program out
 of this.   (Anything would help. Thanks in advance.).
