Ack! You didn't read the .BWR file that came with VMS C-Kermit, did you?
Quoting from the file...
----begin quote
FILE TRANSFER
File transfer modes (TEXT vs BINARY) are set automatically for each file when
sending. The SET FILE TYPE BINARY and SET FILE TYPE TEXT commands are ignored
when sending files. To force binary-mode transmission, use SET FILE TYPE
IMAGE. See the VMS appendix of "Using C-Kermit".
----end quote
ZIP files on VMS are Stream-LF type files, which C-Kermit will interpret
as text type files. You want SET FILE TYPE IMAGE.
