On most systems running UNIX, the command to transfer a binary file with kermit is kermit -si [filename] The -si means send image (rather than send text). By the way I transferred the pkarc files from comp.binaries to my pc last night and they seem to run fine. I used uudecode on the Unix Connection in Dallas and then transferred the .exe file sing xmodem. In the past I have transferred uuencoded files to my pc and done the translation on the pc. I have C source and executables for uuencode and uudecode. If anyone is interested, let me know by e-mail. -- Don Simoneaux Phone: (214) 964-1859 3605 Interlaken Dr. Plano, TX 75075 USENET: ...ihnp4!killer!dons
