On our VAX you have to convert a .LBR or .ARC file from TOPS20 to VAX file structure before downloading to a CP/M or MSDOS system with Kermit. There is a program in a VAX library on SIMTEL20 called BINTNXVMS that does this. First capture the .LBR file in 8 bit using ftp BINARY command. Then RUN BINTNXVMS. (Keep the file to be converted in a separate directory since BINTNXVMS.EXE converts everything in sight.) Then capture the file with Kermit. Be sure to set the file type to BINARY at both the host Kermit and the receiver Kermit. Note that XMODEM (at least the version on our VAX) won't do. We have to use Kermit. Henry Dowst
