Which version of KERMIT your are using on the Kaypro should be
irrelevant.  What is relevant is that you have to tell VAX KERMIT
that the file type is binary.
The command is SET FILE TYPE BINARY
Actually I'm surprised you got the whole file, since my Vax kermit throws
up unless it sees line feeds regularly except in binary mode.

The Kaypro Kermit ought to not care about file type, but Vax kermit does.
