Some time ago someone posted the following suggestion for FTP'ing ITS format files to get rid of thepadding bits in each 36-bit word: >quote (> is the FTP prompt) type "l 8" Entering these two lines seems to set things up properly on the UNIX system I work on, even though FTP does not have the TENEX mode (type?). There is still the need to eliminate the first 4 bytes using ITCVT (or using dd on a UNIX system). Hope this helps. David Ragozin - entropy!rag@uw-beaver sorry - I tried it and it doesn't work Bill
