The 'Program too big for memory' is a common indicator that the File Headerat the begining of the file is messed up. I don't know what system(s) you are using, but you must FTP in BINARY/IMAGE/PAGED and KERMIT in 8-BIT/BINARY. If your system is a 16/32 bit-word (VAX, etc) then ASCII is 8-bit and there is no transfer mode for KERMIT. The SIMTEL20 system is a 36-bit TOPS20 8-bits into 36 is not round, so storage transfers are performed (8-bit ASCII files are stored differently than 8-bit binary) so the FTP mode is critical. Experiment. Good luck! Gern -------
