Hmmm. Mike M. didn't make this perfectly clear. Does "different" mean
"non-z/OS"? I assumed otherwise.
Does "disconnected" mean FTP is unavailable? There must be some
connection. But not TCP/IP?

I did verify the syntax of the cksum command with:
User@MVS:131$ _UNIX03= cp -B "//'SYS1.MACLIB(SPLEVEL)'" /dev/fd/1 | cksum
3684370417 29440
(I did not try the TRANSMIT command. Users slightly less weird than I may omit
the "UNIX03=".)
I used x3270 file transfer (ugh!) to transmit the file in binary to a PC, and
replicated
the checksum with Cygwin cksum.
