Not if it was transferred in binary mode. If sending from a CRLF system
(like DOS or Windows) to a NL system (like UNIX, OS-9, or AOS/VS) in text
mode, the new file will be shorter than the original. When sending
*to* a CRLF system in text mode, the new file will be the same size (if
coming from another CRLF system) or longer (if coming from a NL system).
Therefore it is more likely that the transfer was interrupted in some
other way, and the receiving Kermit kept the partially received file.
If this happens consistently, of course, there's a problem. If not, then
the explanation is probably in the connection rather than in the Kermit
software.
