(Moving this discussion from comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d to comp.os.vms, since this is a VMS-specific issue.)

The problem lies in VAX/VMS Kermit, which tries to be intelligent about when to perform newline conversions. It incorrectly assumes that all stream-LF files are text files. And it won't allow you to use the command "set file type binary" to override this assumption. The result is a corrupted download. Other file transfer programs, such as zmodem, should not have this problem. -- Rahul Dhesi <dhesi@bsu-cs.bsu.edu> UUCP: ...!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi Career change search is on -- ask me for my resume
