The files get to my diskspace fine. In fact, if I go to the ethernet node I mentioned above, I can copy them to a floppy, take them home, and run them, with no difficulty whatsoever. It's between the host and my local box. >If it matches, then prepare to send it to the PC. Get into Kermit and type >"set file type binary" BEFORE you send EACH file.

Good luck! Again, that doesn't seem to be the problem(I re-tried it so I wouldn't put my foot _TOO_ far in my mouth:)). Even on zmodem, if I use the -b flag for binary, I still get ERROR and garbage overflow. My local sz is dated August 87, and it has been suggested to me that an old sz may be a problem, also. >-Philip Thanks, Philip, A. Taylor
