Thank you everyone for your responses to my FTPing troubles. I'm happy to say that the problem appears to be solved, thanks to a suggestion by Howard Chu. It seems that since I am using Kermit in a VMS environment rather than a Unix environment, I have to set the filetype to 'Fixed' instead of 'Binary'. That did the trick, 'cause I just finished downloading and successfully de-arcing 3 files from him1. The ironic part is that I still didn't have 'binary' set on Uniterm! Thanks again, Howard and everyone else, for helping solve a 2-month long nerve-racking problem. Boy, don't you just love/hate (pick one) it when the hardest problems get solved by the simplest solutions!
