Is there any reason that, after i "uncompress" a file (take kermit.Z) the next recognizes it purely as a text document and not an application. Am i (again) doing something wrong? Patientence and answer much appreciated.. Thanks. Loki

I don't know if any thing else has to be updated, but this is required after uncompressing a binary on all UNIX machines. David Koski
