The problem is that the user did not read the documentation. Luckily, it is
available in German:
Frank da Cruz and Christine M. Gianone, "C-Kermit - Einfuehrung und
Referenz", Verlag Heinz Heise, Hannover, Germany (1994).
ISBN 3-88229-023-4. Deutsch von Gisbert W. Selke. Price: DM 88,00.
Verlag Heinz Heise GmbH & Co. KG, Helstorfer Strasse 7, D-30625 Hannover.
Tel. +49 (05 11) 53 52-0, Fax. +49 (05 11) 53 53-1 29.
The answer (already pointed out by somebody else on this forum) is given on
page 463 of the German edition. To recapitulate, the problem is that VMS
ZIP files are stored in a text format (Stream_LF), and so Kermit transfers
them in text mode. You must use SET FILE TYPE IMAGE to override this.
