Set both sides (host and local computer) to binary mode (on most mainframes with set file type binary or set file binary, select the Binary button on ), if you have set parity to none and have selected 8 data bits, binary files will be transferred without 8th-bit prefixing; in all other cases prefixing will be used (be sure that the parity is the same on the complete connection to the remote computer). One note, since the Kermit ``end of record'' is the same as the TOS ``end of line'' no translation of CR's or LF's is done, this may lead to problems if you have a file on the ST which uses LF as ``end of line'' marker.
