I had about seven replies to my last question about Ftp and Garbo.  Thanks
to everyone that responded.  The solution follows:
1) Once logged onto Garbo, at ftp> TYPE BINARY
2) get the file, quit and at uhunix use the kermit command
   $ kermit -i -s filename
3) In REFLECTION 4.0 on the PC set the type of file to B

This procedure let me download the files in binary and the number of bytes
did NOT change.  

Problem: Hard time getting on SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL.
Solution: Wait until midnight eastern time (6 PM here).
          Ftp wuarchive.wustl.edu as it is similar to SIMTEL.
          Ftp mirror... (I didn't get the rest).
