                    Hi,
                       I have an executable transputer file in dos
 format for use with a PC hosted transputer system. I wish to 
 transfer this executable file ( it is a file of type .B4 ) to a
 VAX so that i can use it with my vax hosted transputer system. My
 attempts so far to kermit this file result in a file with the 
 wrong format which fails to boot. Has anyone encountered this
 problem? Does anyone know of a solution?
                                  Cheers

Assumung you are using KERMIT in binary mode and it doesnt work - how about
uuencoding the file first, sending the ASCII and then uudecoding it at the
far end. I have used these programs to transfer other binaries via very
tortuous routes indeed and they still work at the far end.
