[comp.sys.apple] Kermit binary transfer

SEWALL@UCONNVM.BITNET (08/19/87)

Peter:

Kermit 2.11 is an out-dated Kermit, more to the point, I never was
able to get binary transfer to work with it.  However, I'm using a
different sort of system here, so it may yet work for you BUT you
have to SET EIGHT-BIT-QUOTING ON and SET BYTE-SIZE 8-BIT as well
as SET FILE-TYPE BINARY on the Apple end.

If you can successfully download character files, you can get Kermit
3.78, download it with 2.11, and have a MUCH nicer kermit.

You'll need to send a series of one line mail messages to
LISTSERV@BROWNVM.BITNET

The one line message should be:

SENDME APPLE2-L 87-xxxxx (where xxxxx is the number of the file you
                          want)

For example: To get the first part of the main program,

SENDME APPLE2-L 87-00016

The instructions for getting the files EXEC'd and the program working are
in

SENDME APPLE2-L 87-00028

I've had good luck transferring binary files to and from our IBM mainframe
with Kermit 3.78
