Subject: Kermit 3.1 - Losing bytes during transfer

I have a user on a 486 PC clone using Kermit v3.1 to a UNIX machine
running 4E(027) (Jan 24, 1989). They are transferring (using Binary)
a Lotus spreadsheet file to the UNIX machine. After the transfer
is complete, they notice that the size of the transferred version
of the file is smaller than the orginal. What's more, if they
take the transferred version and transfer it back down to the PC,
the size further decreases.
It is my understanding that Kermit was to protect against this sort
of "byte loss". Is this a bug, or is there something the user
forgot to set?
-Thanks,
