I can't transfer binary files using the latest version of Kermit
for generic CP/M-80 systems. Text file transfers work fine though.
I am trying to transfer files between a Zobex S-100 micro running
CP/M-80 version 2.2 and a VAX running UNIX* 4.2bsd using C-Kermit
on VAX end. MSKermit, for MS-DOS machines, works with C-Kermit on
the VAX in both text and binary file transfer modes. I am going to
try to dig through the Kermit-80 ASM files to find the problem, but
if someone could tell me how to fix the problem, I would appreciate
it. todd

Todd (et al), Don't think your problem with Kermit-80 not wanting to move binary files lies within the Kermit-80 code (unless your particular copy got trashed/ changed somehow). I've got v4.0 running on my Decision I (with a few system-dependent changes because of the way the Toad handles its ports, and my having to work through a TAC all the time), and routinely move binary. I'm sure you know it isn't really binary - the packetized characters are pure ASCII, prefixed with a unique character if non-visible. Never tried your system though. Good luck!
