Strange, I've downloaded loads of stuff from a Sys V UNIX machine and it
always works fine - the only time it doesn't is when I forget to set the
'-i' option on the UNIX kermit (for binary mode transfer). There's maybe
something wrong with your UNIX kermit (although I have heard of some
sort of bug in Uniterm's Kermit but it always works OK for me)...
