-> 3 ideas...
->
-> 1> try downloading some different files

     Tried.  Similar problems with binary.

-> 2> are you sure they're arced (is it possible they're really zipped?)

     Yes.  They come through fine via Net-Tamer FTP and successfully
unarc....  :-(

-> 3> ask Charles Angelich in TECH he seems to be a kermit expert.

     He suggests that I use Bob Juge's CommPort BBS for Kermit
transfers, which is fine, except that I am looking for a solution that
works with generic WildCat!.    It looks like I may have to
dig out my 48K 6502 from the closet and work with Kermit65 after all!
