     Once you've gotten the files, either you must force an 8-bit transfer
from VAX to MS-DOS or you have to UUENCODE or otherwise convert your 8-bit
files to 7-bit files so that you can tne UUDECODE them back to 8-bit.  This
should work correctly, otherwise, you get problems such as you have
experienced already.

     I have the same problems with our UNIX 7-bit kermit and VMS 7-bit kermit.
I just use UUENCODE on both.
