Yes, please run the version of Kermit that is current and supported for
VMS, C-Kermit 5A(190).
Anonymous ftp to kermit.columbia.edu, directory kermit/f, get the file
ckvaaa.hlp, read it, go from there.
About ZIP files and VMS -- because they are created with a text-type
record format (Stream_LF), even though they are binary files, you have
to tell C-Kermit to "set file type image" when transferring them.
