It's usually caused by copy protection. So, how do you get around it? Well, here's how I do it. I try hard to get a direct link to our vax (I'm lucky. Failing this, a second computer with a serial port works fine. . .) and set up the word processor to print to my serial port. Thus, I "send" the file to the vax as straight ASCII. Unfortunately, with todays "wonderful" font-laden programs, this can cause big problems.
