You have to tell both sides that the file is binary. On the unix side, add
a -i flag to your kermit command line (or if you're talking to the C-Kermit>
prompt, tell it "set file type binary" before "send" or "server"); on the
Mac side (obviously what you're using) look under one of the menus for file
transfer options and set the binary mode. (It's been a LONG time since I've
used MacKermit...) (for those who use DOS, SET FILE TYPE BINARY at the
MS-Kermit> prompt.... and for those as have the beta release, doing it on
the DOS side automagically does it on the Unix side, too... I don't know if
this requires 5A(190) or not...)
Kermit won't eat your binaries if you tell it not to... GIGO, however..

Kermit. It's not just a file transfer anymore.
