One way or another, yes.

Yes.
: and DOS Kermit on the PC?

If it's running DOS or Windows 3.x. If it's running Windows 95, 98, or NT,
you need Kermit 95:

:
Get C-Kermit 6.0 for your VMS system:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckermit.html
and the appropriate Kermit software for your PC. Transfer the file in
image mode (tell VMS C-Kermit to "set file type image").
After that, you'll need to convert the file to be in whatever format your
PC program requires. That's not something that Kermit can do for you, since
(obviously) it does not understand this unique format.
