I agree with much of what is said, but with some modification.  Until
very recently, I was using version 1.7b; it worked flawlessly in all
cases EXCEPT sending DEGAS format pictures to our VAX.  Before I was
even aware of UNITERM, I purchased ANSIGRAPH; I have had no troubles
with its KERMIT at all.  So, while I use UNITERM as my standard, I
changed to ANSIGRAPH for any long binaries.  I have not
tried UNITERM 2.0e on a degas picture yet.
