I'm having a compatiblity problem transferring files between a unixed based
c-kermit and procomm's version of kermit. I would like to know what most
people use for file transfers in the same situation. Since this is not
my account please reply to scook@hawk.ulowell.edu or post your reply
in this newsgroup. Thankyou.

P.S. If it matters, I have a zoom modem with procomm software and the Unix
based kermit in question was release in Jan of 88.ts@uwasa.fi (Timo Salmi) (10/08/90)

Your best bet would be using MsKermit at you PC end of things. If you don't have MsKermit, you can get it from our site by anonymous ftp or mail server (ask for prerecorded instructions if you don't know how use ftp or mail servers). There is also much information on Procomm, MsKermit, and file transfers in the following files all in directory /pc/ts. tspfon29.arc tskerm24.arc tsans023.txt ...................................................................

Try the command 'set parity even' at your host. Jonathan

Make sure you have the parity set properly.
One other important setting for kermit on UNIX is
set file type binary
or
set file type text
whichever is apropriate for the type of files you are transferring.
`set file type text' automatically does \n <--> \r\n conversion
between UNIX and DOS.

Is this 'normal' for UNIX kermit? : I have 'set file type binary' in my .kermrc file. If I send a file via the command line: kermit -s fname kermit sends it as a text file (even though .kermrc says otherwise). If I send a file while UNDER kermit: send fname Kermit sends as a binary (uses .kermrc setting). If I want to send a binary file via the command line, I must use the -i switch to force binaries. This drove me crazy for the longest time (.zip files kept reporting an illegal zip file when unzipped). Why doesn't kermit commands invoked via the command line use .kermrc? - Thanks Jeff -- _____________________________________________________________________________ F-14 | _ | | Jeffrey M.
