  Well, it's time to find help, I recently started using the kermit
versions above and have found a problem uploading to our Solbourne.
The Solbourne has C-Kermit 4F(094) 19 Aug 89, SUN03 4.x as it's version
number and our system is 4.03 OS/MP with the berkley extensions.

  What's happening, ie. I upload a 258 byte file to my Unix account after
setting binary mode on the Unix side and after the transfer the file is
only 255 bytes. When I tried bringing it back to test it, the program would
not run, with DOS saying bad exe program. There's no problem transfering text
files and also no problem downloading from our Unix system in binary mode, as
long as it's not a file I tried uploading. For example executables from ftp
sites come down with no problem.

  The pc kermit version 2.32 works but I need 3.0 or higher for our IBM
mainframe and I'd rather only use one version if possible.  Aynone have
any ideas?

  Hey, who else would you expect to be responsible for what I say?
