If you are getting all your bits and bytes shifted around, you are using
the wrong mode in ftp!  In addition to specifying image mode, you should
also specify "8-bit bytes".  ITS will then take care of extracting the
bytes from PDP-10 words in the correct way.  I gather different unix ftp
programs have different commands, but I'm told at least one of them does it
this way:

	ftp mit-mc
	type i
	quote
	type "l 8"

You will still need to strip the 4 header bytes (which I'm told you can do
with a general-purpose utility called 'dd'), but you certainly shouldn't
have to shift anything around!
