I have another question which deals with programs of this kind.
At the present time we have bitnet AND internet connectivity.
I think we're leaving BITNET at the end of this year.
So we can't use SENDFILE in the future.
Now my question:

If one of my users wants to "send" binary information to a partner on
a host which has ONLY bitnet connectivity the only possibility is
to use MAIL. How should he encapsulate the binary information that
he can send it via MAIL to a VM HOST with only bitnet connectivity?

Which utility is able to code and decode binary information for such
a purpose?

Any help is welcome.
Kind Regards
