Which Kermit programs are you using, and which version of each one? On
what kind of computer? Using what connection method? etc etc. It's
always a good idea to include a few relevant facts in trouble reports --
remember, there are hundreds of different Kermit programs running on
probably thousands of different machine/OS/OS-version combinations.
Anyway, the most likely explanation of the problem is that you failed to
tell Kermit to transfer the files in binary mode. Kermit (unlike sz)
uses text mode by default. Just tell (at least) the file sender to:
SET FILE TYPE BINARY
For safety (since you did not say what Kermit software you are using),
give this command to both Kermit programs before starting the transfer.
