I have never had a problem with any file downloaded with Kermit, I wish I could say the same for Xmodem. In downloading (FTP I presume) the file from Purdue, you said you specified "binary" mode, are you downloading to a system with the same word size? As in Vax to Vax? If not that could be a problem, I have had problems getting files down from a TOPS20 machine, and have had to do an intermediate transfer to a Vax. Various implementations of FTP call it different things, but you should be transferring in "IMAGE" mode, this insures that you get exactly what was on the other machine, may be the same as binary but I'm not sure. -- _ /| \`o_O' ( ) Aachk!
