While it is true that the VAX will spite you if you send it long lines
without the necessary line-terminating linefeed, which is what would happen
if you were to send it a binary file, the files you were after are _not_
binary. The original files have been Stuffed (using StuffIt) then binhexed
(also using StuffIt) and are now sitting there as ordinary text format files.
Try your transfer again using ascii text format, then use kermit to transfer
them to your Mac. The lines are something less than 80 characters long, so
there should be no problem.

Email from our network to bitnet nodes sometimes fails for no obvious
reason, so I will post this as well as trying to Email you.

Enjoy MacLogimo Plus! We are working on the new version at present. Send me
any comments, etc., you might have.
