Hello all you gurus in VMS & comms land.

I am using AUSTPAC(x25{?x28} TELSTRA) link to my account and want to
transfer some of my .MAI files to my home machine using KERMIT32(both
ends). 

I SET FILE TYPE BINARY on both ends and set the remote to SERVER to GET the 
files for my home machine(vax).

When the files are received OK then I tried to access the file using MAIL 
but gives message non-ISAM(sp) file.

Thought I would be smart and save them to a saVE-SET AND KERMIT this but by 
the time it gets to the home machine (kermit=ok) it gives message

$ back/lo apple.bck/sav [.guest]
%BACKUP-F-NOTSAVESET, SYS$SYSDEVICE:[PETER]APPLE.BCK;1 is not a BACKUP save 
set

I don't appear to have any problems with text transfers but I could easily 
overlook/compensate-for something in a text file that would be crucial for
binary files .

TIA
	Peter
