Subject: FTPing binary files from SIMTEL20 to VAX/VMS hosts

If you have been FTPing our binary files from SIMTEL20 to your VAX/VMS
host using the Wollongong TCP/IP ftp program and either getting
garbage or post-processing the result with the BINTNXVMS program to
fix the file, here is the correct sequence of commands:

binary
quote "type l 8"
get filespec    or mget filespec (if all the filespec files are binary)

Do NOT use bget.  The above sequence results in correctly formatted
files without the use of the BINTNXVMS program.

There is a tenex command, but this was incorrectly implemented and
has been fixed for the next release of TWG ftp for VAX/VMS.
