Subject: Getting Files from SIMTEL20 via FTP

On our VAX you have to convert a .LBR or .ARC file from TOPS20 to VAX
file structure before downloading to a CP/M or MSDOS system with Kermit.
There is a program in a VAX library on SIMTEL20 called BINTNXVMS that 
does this.  First capture the .LBR file in 8 bit using ftp BINARY
command.  Then RUN BINTNXVMS.  (Keep the file to be converted in a
separate directory since BINTNXVMS.EXE converts everything in sight.)
Then capture the file with Kermit.  Be sure to set the file type to 
BINARY at both the host Kermit and the receiver Kermit.  Note that 
XMODEM (at least the version on our VAX) won't do.  We have to use 
Kermit.
