I am resubmitting this to INFO-VAX as it didn't come through the first time.

Well, I've found a solution to get the .EXE files to work right.  You need to
use CONVERT/FDL to convert the received file to a fixed block file again.  The
file CON.FDL is shown below:

RECORD
        FORMAT                  fixed
        SIZE                    512

  For the given example, you type:  $CONVERT/FDL=CON BLAH.EXE BLAH1.EXE
and BLAH1.EXE will be executable.

Oh, you also need to send it with the command:
$SEND/FILE/BINARY/NETDATA BLAH.EXE.
