Some time ago someone posted the following suggestion for FTP'ing ITS
format files to get rid of thepadding bits in each 36-bit word:

>quote (> is the FTP prompt)
type "l 8"

Entering these two lines seems to set things up properly on the UNIX
system I work on, even though FTP does not have the 
TENEX mode (type?).

There is still the need to eliminate the first 4 bytes using ITCVT
(or using dd on a UNIX system).

Hope this helps.
