Kermit-32 is indeed from the paleolithic era. It does not understand
how to pick up the file transfer mode from modern clients. Thus you sent
the file and Kermit-32 stored it as text or similar, and that's why the
results won't run. By all means, upgrade to C Kermit 5A(190) for VMS. Visit
kermit.columbia.edu, cd kermit/c-kermit; a version is ready to go from there.
In the meanwhile explicitly control Kermit-32 before sending more files at it.
