Not true! Mine also had this "corruption" but I downloaded all the files to my Amiga, compiled, and I'm typing to you from it now. Everything works fine. Larn, vi, notes, etc. Also, the xmodem is ok, no CRC though, also, it does like: Block 1 . Verified Block 2 . Verified etc. So that a small program d/uload will scroll everything off the screen. Now the kermit is fantastic! I used it with a Fido system and everything worked fine. There's a status line on the bottom (ala Wombat Term) and it supposedly supports multi-file transfer. I don't know about that. Either I did it wrong or it doesn't work. I told FIDO: download prototol? kermit filename? sailfont.doc,sailfont.asm Ready to send sailfont.doc sailfont.asm Locally I chose Kermit Receive (you got send, receive, get, bye) File: sailfont.doc,sailfont.asm And it proceded to download the doc file, after 16 blocks though, it failed. The second file failed completely without a single block. The problem was though, the machine had one of my most favorite crash types: THE SILENT CRASH - everything freezes but the status light is still bright and there's no Software Error - Task Held AutoRequest anywhere! I'm a newcommer to KERMIT so I'm probably doing something wrong. Anyone care to enlighten? Now I gotta brace myself for the deluge of mail... Dan Wallach ...!ihnp4!convex!danny
