I'm having problems getting >anything< binary (sass.zip, any of the HP binaries, etc.) from any site. I've made sure I set FTP to binary mode, and when I download to my PC I use xmodem -sb (not send-text! :) ), and I'm sure I have the Kermit-PC to SX stuff right 'cause I sent other binaries back and forth. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I being lame and forgetting something about UNIX? Any responses, either posts or via email, would be >greatly< appreciated; I've uses for sass on the PC (now that I have one...) Thank you. -- -- dove@ucscg.ucsc.edu Ray Rischpater -- dove@ucscb.ucsc.edu (408) 426-0716 --As usual, all of the opinions contained herein are my own...

Try using kermit to download the file into your PC. XMODEM
pads the file with nulls to complete the last packet. This
is a common problem since the 48 cares about the whole file.
For example, XMODEM cannot be used to download binary files
from the HP bulletin board.
