 As long as were talking about it. Is this 'normal' for UNIX kermit? :

   I have 'set file type binary' in my .kermrc file.

   If I send a file via the command line:  kermit -s fname
   kermit sends it as a text file (even though .kermrc says
   otherwise).

   If I send a file while UNDER kermit: send fname
   Kermit sends as a binary (uses .kermrc setting).

   If I want to send a binary file via the command line, I must
   use the -i switch to force binaries.

   This drove me crazy for the longest time (.zip files kept
   reporting an illegal zip file when unzipped). Why doesn't kermit
   commands invoked via the command line use .kermrc?

				- Thanks
