I have never managed to transfer binary files successfully from Unix to
MS-DOS via kermit.  I always uuencode the files on Unix, transfer the files
as ascii, then uudecode on MS-DOS.  This always works.  Of course, it
assumes that you have uudecode available on MS-DOS.  I do have such and
will post it if requested.  I got it from the net myself some months ago.
