(I do have a problem with AREXX support when I receive a bell it errors "AREXX script-can't find port" but it does not cause me any problems just inconvenience.) Remember to set (on most C-Kermits) "set file type binary" when transferring any binary files. Try typeing a "?" at the C-Kermit prompt for a list of options! Quick note: I have both Xmodem and Zoo C source (Unix) and will try to mail them to you. (never have tried before) :-) -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Matthew G.
