    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.

sorry - I tried it and it doesn't work
