Keith,

I received you message and had already read most of what you had sent.
However, let me explain to you what I did and maybe you can help me.

I used "FTP SIMTEL20.ARPA" and logged in as anonymous/guest.
I did a bget (binary get) to download arc521.com to my VAX 11/780.
I logged out of SIMTEL20 and proceeded to use my VAX to run XMODEM.
I have a TANDY (IBM PC CLONE) the uses MIRROR (CROSSTALK CLONE). It 
supports XMODEM protocol as well. So I ran XMODEM on my VAX, issued the
Send command, issued an RX (Receive XMODEM) command on my TANDY,
and downloaded ARC521.COM.
 
After logging out of the VAX I executed the command ARC521 and
got garbage on the screen. That is where I stand.

Along the way I downloaded ARC.EXE from <PC-BLUE> in the same manner
and got a "Program too big to fit in memory" on my TANDY. I have 640k
on my TANDY so I know there is plenty of room.

I hope you might be able to help me.

Thanks.

PS. My TANDY runs MSDOS 3.2.
