Excellent report, but I can't reproduce the problem. K95 obeys the
file type attribute from Kermit-370 on VM/CMS (I've taken the liberty
of lining up the corresponding fields, and highlighting the file-type
attributes):
Text:
VM/CMS: A!!1."I1"!A*'CI6/100/#AMJ#119911122 19:28:44@
MVS/TSO: A ."I2"!A*'CI6/100/#AMJ#(19990914@
^^^
Binary:
VM/CMS: A!!1."I1"!B#119911122 19:28:44@
MVS/TSO: A ."I2"!B#(19990914@
^^^
All of these packets containt well-formed attribute lists.
The only differences are that:
. The VM/CMS version includes the "Length in K" (!) attribute, and:
. The VM/CMS includes the time of day in the file's timestamp.
These should not affect the file type.
SET FILE PATTERNS OFF only affects the file sender. The file sender
tells the file receiver the file type (text or binary) in the
attribute packets as shown above. The file receiver will never ignore
this notification, no matter what its FILE PATTERNS, FILE TYPE, or
TRANSFER MODE. If you have told either one of the Kermit programs to
SET ATTRIBUTES OFF, then the attribute packet won't be sent at all,
which is clearly not what happened in this case. The only way you can
make the receiver ignore this notification would be:
SET ATTRIBUTE TYPE OFF
SET FILE TYPE { TEXT or BINARY }
But that's not what you did, right?
Let's resolve this one offline. Please collect a debug.log file from
K95 for each case, as well as a list of all the commands you gave to
K95 (including in your K95CUSTOM.INI file) prior to the incident, and
send them to kermit-support@columbia.edu
Also, not that it should make any difference, please tell us if this
problem is new to K-370 4.3.3 (I can't see how it would be).
