One piece of information: Are you sure you are only getting part of the
file? The size of a file on VAX with VMS is different than the size will
be on your NT system, even if all the data is transfered. VMS usually
reports size in "blocks" not in byte size. If you do a dir on a vms system
and look at the size of the file, it will usually be half that size on an NT
system when you do a dir.
