I would tell you to use XMIT, but I doubt if it exists on VSE. What does CA suggest? A solution is to (GASP) write a program to encode the records into 80 byte (arbitrary) fixed length records. Then you can use binary transfer. On the other side you have the program decode it. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
