Does anyone have any experience of transferring DVI files to/from a VAX/VMS
system to an IBM-PC/XT running MicroTeX ? Simple-minded methods, using
Kermit, produce files which each system's DVI-reader regards as illegally
formatted.

Thanks to all who told me I should have told Kermit that DVI files
were binary. I find that "Kermit> Set file type fixed" produces
the best results. Now I have a r e a l problem - the DVI files
are incompatible! A kern which works fine on the PC produces an
enormous negative x-shift on the VAX. Oh well, I've just got
an official K&S tape, so I'll let DVItype have a go at the problem.
