Which version of KERMIT your are using on the Kaypro should be irrelevant. What is relevant is that you have to tell VAX KERMIT that the file type is binary. The command is SET FILE TYPE BINARY Actually I'm surprised you got the whole file, since my Vax kermit throws up unless it sees line feeds regularly except in binary mode. The Kaypro Kermit ought to not care about file type, but Vax kermit does. Marc Lewis
