Giving this type to a downloaded file must be a peculiarity of Blast --
it doesn't happen with FTP or Kermit.

The advice posted by Roderick Anderson works:
create/type=prv x.x
copy/a x.x kermit.pr
delete kermit.pr
rename x.x kermit.pr
You can also use create/type=unx. (Note: The AOS/VS COPY command is
right-to-left rather than left-to-right.)

:
I have no idea. However, should you find that the distributed binary does
not work on your version, let me know and I'll tell you how to build from
source code.
Also note that AOS/VS and AOS/VS-II are two separate operating systems;
there is a separate C-Kermit binary for each.
