 Recently I tried to use the MS-Kermit terminal that I received from the
Computing Center of my college, to access and retrieve files from thier VM/XA
system.  I am using MS-Kermit 3.01, and am having a rather difficult time.

I can ftp the files to the University Computer OK, (I think they make it ok),
however, when I try to send the files from the Univ. computer, to my system
(MSDOS) they are getting mangled somehow.  That is, after I receive them on my
home system, and try to decompress them, they won't decompress.

Could someone tell me:


        A)  What I am doing wrong?

        B)  Where I can get a recent copy of MS-Kermit

        C)  If there is a way to tell the remote host that the file it
            is sending is binary, and not text (This may be it!)

        D)  If someone could walk me through a complete session of sending
            the files via Kermit...
