I am having some trouble sending binary files from the UNIX machine at
school to my OS/2 system at home. Here is what happens:
1. If I type kermit -ix, escape back to my OS/2 Ckermit, and then type
'get file.zip', my OS/2 C-kermit starts receiving the file but announces
that the FILE TYPE is "TEXT (no translation)". Huh?
2. If I start kermit with no command line options, type
'set file type binary' at the C-kermit prompt, type 'send file.zip',
escape back to the OS/2 C-kermit and then type 'receive' my OS/2
C-kermit recieves the file and tells me the FILE TYPE is BINARY.
Why does 2 work while 1 does not? Shouldn't the '-ix' force all file
transfers to be binary? I used to have NO trouble (before I installed
the current version of the Unix C-kermit).
The Unix C-kermit is
C-Kermit 5A(190), 4 Oct 94, for Solaris 2.x
Copyright (C) 1985, 1994,
while the OS/2 kermit is
C-Kermit 5A(190) BETA.23, 18 Sep 94, for OS/2 2.11 32-bit
Numeric: 501190
