We are attempting to transfer copies of MacIntosh documents (write and draw) to other MacIntoshes using the VAX as the transmission vehicle with KERMIT as the tool used. After several attempts, it appears to be able to transfer only binary applications since they can be transferred using the resource fork. However, since documents have both data and resource forks and since the version of Kermit that we are using (.9(40)) can send only one fork, we were not able to successfully transfer documents and maintain their formatting. Is anyone doing this successfully? Is there a trick in Kermit we don't understand? If you are using other tools, what is working well for you. Thanks for any help you can provide.
